Defendants who rescued terribly sick piglets are found not guilty on all counts in #SmithfieldTrial while 11 employees who stomped and kicked turkeys like footballs, videotaped in @peta investigation, were charged on 56 counts. A good week for animal justice.

These are pictures from a @Harvard experimenter's own published paper. They're publicly available. She took their babies away, sometimes having to sedate the mothers to pry the infants from their arms, and gave some of them stuffed animals. Can't be justified, Harvard, at all.

I'm relieved no horses died while racing @DelMarRacing summer meet. That's good news. But it's misleading to say none died during training. TWO horses died while training according to @caCHRB . "Sudden death" still means a dead horse.

The "monkey shortage" is an opportunistic myth of monkey experimenters. They haven't come from China in the last 2 years--but they were imported to US labs from other Asian & African countries. MORE monkeys landed in US labs after China shut down exports than before.

Can we just call "crop use" what it is? It's beating a horse. Abusing an animal so that some humans can place bets & make $. Saying that Ryan Moore struck Austuste Rodin "only once more" than was allowed entirely misses this point, as well as the fact that it was a violation.

NY horse racing gets $230 million/year in state subsidies & wants $450 million in state-backed bonds. Racing gives $25,000 a month to the governor. Most NYers have no idea about the $ trade that's been going on for years. The gov receives, residents lose.
