Bay Area Premiere of " Behind the Mask " on December 16th to

Benefit EBAA

 

" Behind the Mask " , a new documentary focused on individuals who

take direct action to protect animals, will premiere on December

16th in Oakland. The film exposes never-before-seen footage that

reveals the extent to which these individuals will go to save the

lives of animals. This controversial documentary weaves together

the lives of people who face jail, devastation, and even death

for their ideals. Director Shannon Keith will be on-site to

present the director’s cut of the documentary. Tickets are $10 at

the door. All proceeds from the film screening will support the

work of East Bay Animal Advocates and Animal Rescue, Media &

Education.

Is it " Natural " to Abuse Animals?

 

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection

Service (FSIS) announced a public forum to discuss a petition to

establish a definition for the voluntary claim " natural " and to

gather comments on conditions under which the claim should be

allowed to be used on the labels of meat and poultry products.

FSIS develops and implements policies to ensure that meat,

poultry and egg product labeling is truthful and non-misleading.

Ask the FSIS to address animal welfare issues with respect to

“natural” meat and poultry guidelines. Comments may be submitted

by December 12th electronically to FSIS.RegulationsComments.

Say No to Building a Biological Weapons Agent Lab in California’s

Agricultural Heartland

 

Tell the Department of Homeland Security that you don’t want a

biological warfare agent research facility at Lawrence Livermore

National Laboratory or its high explosive testing range. The

University of California Regents have applied to the Department

of Homeland Security to build a bio-warfare agent research

facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s high

explosive testing range adjacent to the city of Tracy, Ca. This

facility may experiment with live Anthrax, “Mad Cow” Disease, and

Ebola Virus. Scientists would experiment on farm animals (i.e.

cattle, pigs, and sheep) at this facility.
