Dolly Vyas-Ahuja's grandfather marched with Gandhi in India. Now, Dolly - who hails from Texas - has gone back to India to fight for the freedom of animals tortured for dairy. While India has a strong vegetarian tradition, it is also a huge consumer of dairy. Dolly is making a documentary about her effort to convince the people of India that stealing the breast milk of cows, and ripping away their babies in the process, is not in alignment with the values of their faith and their culture. The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members. Mahatma Gandhi

KING Charter is striving to be the first plant-based public school in the USA and possibly the world. KING board members believe that all children deserve a right to proper education and nutrition and not just children of economically successful parents. KINGs curriculum will be taught in a trilingual immersion environment in English, Spanish and Mandarin and also incorporate more movement than the average public school both through recess, PE and creative classes that promote additional movement. KING will strive to provide a school that allows children to spend more time outside and in the garden. What is so unique about the charter school model, is that once you have one application approved, you essentially have the application for every county in the state of Florida.

After learning that the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) advised people to kill green iguanas on their properties “whenever possible” and without specifying any particular killing methods, PETA dispatched a letter this morning to the agency pointing out that randomly killing these wonderful animals won’t curb their population in any significant way, whereas banning their import, possession, sale, exhibition, and breeding would actually reduce the numbers. PETA blasts the agency for taking a stopgap measure that doesn’t mandate or explain humane methods of killing. PETA notes that untrained members of the public, including children, are ill-equipped to slaughter iguanas in a manner that destroys their brains and causes instant death, meaning that many of these sensitive animals will suffer before dying.

In the wake of horrific undercover footage by Animal Recovery Mission, showing violent calf/cow abuse at one America's largest, so-called humane dairy farms, the whole issue of dairy is being debated by the nation and the world. Why are we drinking the breast milk of another species? Is it good for us or bad for us? How do we let Coca-Cola, a partner of Fairlife Milk, whose longtime supplier Fair Oaks is the farm caught abusing animals, know that it would be smarter and more profitable to switch to plant-based milks!

This week a protest took place outside the Chinese Consulate in Los Angeles. More than a hundred people demonstrated, demanding the Chinese government end the horrific dog meat trade in China, where pets are stolen from yards and right out of people's hands and then tortured to death! Yes, no exaggeration. The tormentors believe that torturing the dog makes the dog meat better at combating virility problems. This is sick. Many Chinese Americans are battling this horror and want to help the Chinese people, most of whom do not support this barbarism but are afraid to speak out because of the repressive government. What can we in the United States do to stop this nightmare? Also, while we point the finger, should we also look in the mirror and admit our treatment of millions of factory farm animals is also barbaric and unnecessary.
