HSUS Victories

I am on the action alert list for the Humane Society of the United States. They just announced two great victories in the fight for animals:

Victory for America's Horses. Our campaign to end horse slaughter in America secured a major legislative victory in the U.S. Congress -- one that will protect nearly 90,000 American horses from being slaughtered and their meat sent to Europe and Asia for human consumption. It was a tough battle, but in the end, the outspoken opposition to the slaughter by The HSUS and advocates like you finally led to federal protection of these majestic animals.
Trader Joe's goes cage-free! Just last month, after a concerted four-month HSUS campaign during which advocates like you sent tens of thousands of e-mails and letters and made countless phone calls, the grocery store chain Trader Joe's pledged that its own brand of eggs will now be entirely cage free. As a result, an estimated 380,000 laying hens -- who provide the more than 100 million Trader Joe's brand eggs sold each year -- will be spared lives spent suffering in battery cages, which confine the birds so much that they can’t even spread their wings.
If you would like to participate in the HSUS petitions or are simply interested in being informed of what they do, visit their site.

I work with an advertising agency, Door Number 3, who just created a pro bono campaign for the Austin Humane Society. It reminds us of the many, many pets who still need a home. But the message needs a little help to be heard.
Would you be able to post this link below on your blog site?With your help, we can save pets lives and raise the funds to broadcast this campaign on billboards and beyond.

Greetings! First, please allow me to congratulate you for the significant
impact that Animal Diaries makes in supporting animal welfare. Your work
truly makes a difference, and is such an inspiration to others.

Please consider visiting this website,
www.StopTheSealHunt.com. Your help is valued and needed to help the seals of Canada.

www.StopTheSealHunt.com is specifically designed to increase awareness and
help fight the annual Canadian commercial seal hunt, which is, as you might
know, the largest mass slaughter of marine mammals in the world. And as you
also might know, unfortunately this year's total allowable catch has been
raised to 325,000 seal pups shot or clubbed for their pelts (and some
skinned while still alive), starting at the very young age of only two
weeks.

You'll see that StopTheSealHunt.com explains several easy ways to
help stop this annual baby seal hunt, including signing petitions to Prime
Ministers and Senators, and simply emailing our friends to help spread the
word.

If you could please help spread the word, and visit
www.StopTheSealHunt.com it will help make a
difference.

Thanks in advance for spreading the word and hopefully the site to others!

Cheers,
Nicole
