Direct action heroes for animals: Popeye, Olive Oyl, Betty Boop & Grampy

March 26, 2023 By Merritt Clifton 5 Comments

Rescuers,  yes,  but exemplars of animal rights?  Not exactly. Eighty-eight years ago,  forty years before the dawn of the animal rights movement,  a muscular quasi-vegan sailor and his lanky girlfriend rescued animals on the silver screen,  soon joined by a sexy “flapper” who sang jazz and her aged but ever inventive grandfather. Popeye,  Olive Oyl,  […]

March 4, 2023 By Merritt Clifton

20 years of India’s national Animal Birth Control program helps to quell rabies,  but not to reduce dog attacks,  because feeders continue to concentrate dogs in problematic places HYDERABAD,  India––Video security cameras set up above a car repair garage in Amberpet,  a 250-year-old suburb of 425-year-old Hyderabad,  India,  on February 19,  2023 shocked the nation […]

Advocate for shooting seals turns to pushing hunt for Sasquatch

March 2, 2023 By Merritt Clifton

But seals are still getting shot GREENBANK, Washington––The hunt for whoever is shooting harbor seals,  apparently from a boat,  along the west side of Whidbey Island,  Washington,  intertwines with the hunt for the mythical Sasquatch,  but no,  Sasquatch is not shooting seals,  nor is Sasquatch in any danger of being shot. Yet another young female […]

Oklahoma law meant to stop drone investigations parallels Texas law struck down by federal court COLGATE,  Oklahoma––How butt-hurt are Oklahoma cockfighters by ongoing Showing Animals Respect & Kindness [SHARK] drone surveillance,  funded by the Humane Farming Association?

What Miyoko’s Creamery lawsuit alleges Miyoko Schinner did

February 21, 2023 By Merritt Clifton

& what a few other good lawyers think of the case             SONOMA,  California––Perhaps the most surprising part of Miyoko’s PBC vs. Miyoko Schinner,  the lawsuit filed on February 16,  2022 by Miyoko’s Creamery against the ousted founder of the company,  is the demand for a jury trial. As a legal ploy,  that makes sense:  […]

Miyoko’s Creamery sues Miyoko Schinner for allegedly stealing recipes

February 20, 2023 By Merritt Clifton

Would Miyoko’s Creamery exist without Miyoko Schinner’s recipes?             SONOMA,  California––Perhaps the only dairy product for which Miyoko’s Creamery founder Miyoko Schinner,  65,  never tried to develop a vegan alternative was bullshit.
