Don’t stop believin’, cows! Sporting
goods company PUMA says it
plans to stop using leather in the future. 

They can delay gratification, plan
ahead, show empathy, share, and set goals and see them through. Who am I talking about? I’ll give you a hint:
It’s not humans.

Contagious yawning isn’t specific to
people, either. New research shows that our canine family members catch our yawns, too. 

NEW ACTION ALERTS

You
did it! Thanks for convincing the Bridge Foursquare Church to cancel its greased-pig scramble.

Here are other animals who need your
help:

Calves could be saved from having their
sensitive horn tissue chopped off, burned away, or gouged out if farms simply
bred cows without horns. Urge
cheesemaker Cabot Creamery to stop cruel dehorning and breed hornless
cows instead. 

It’s
bad enough that circuses imprison elephants and drag them across the country,
forcing them to perform. But when the elephants are suffering from tuberculosis
(TB), it’s even worse. Urge
the U.S. Department of Agriculture to ban TB-positive elephants from
performing.

NEW
FEATURES

How
far will goats go to persuade people to help stop the military’s cruel trauma training exercises? How about
spit in people’s water, eat their mail, or enact some Facebook vengeance? These
hilarious goat photos
are must-see and must-share.
