This morning on the last Vegan World Radio show of the year, we will be looking back at some of the events that took place in 2008 - and forward to some plans and hopes for 2009. We will have an important commentary on the sad and horrific story of the decapitation of Mr. Buck, the tame deer who was beloved by so many. A segment on how the world eats - and why it must change. An update on mad cow disease and cattle mutilations - what do cattle mutilations have to do with mad cow disease? This and much more on Vegan World Radio this morning. Shanna Moakler and her children understand that there's no difference between the animals who are killed for food and the ones we share our homes with.
The Age of Insanity.... ![[260xStory.jpg]](http://www.veganworldradio.org/260xStory.jpg) Mr. Buck's Severed Head Recovered From Suspect's Home Officers arrested a 23-year-old man in the decapitation of Mr. Buck, a beloved deer at Bear Creek Pioneers Park's wildlife sanctuary who authorities have since learned fought back as he was attacked last month. The November killing and mutilation of Mr. Buck shocked animal lovers across the Houston area. The 8- to 10-point buck was comfortable around people and let park visitors scratch his chin. A park ranger found the white-tailed deer's headless carcass in a pool of blood Nov. 25. Authorities have since learned Mr. Buck did not go down without a fight. Listen to Important commentary on the tragic story of Mr. Buck
on Vegan World Radio this morning. The Way the World Eats The Hunger for Meat  Associated Press Cats peer from a cage after being saved from a market in Beijing. The Small Animal Protection Assn. says one business in Guangzhou, where cats are eaten, captures up to 10,000 a day — including pets — from around China and brings them back to be sold as food. Cat meat sells for $1.32 a pound. Dog meat sells for .95 cents a pound. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/unleashed/2008/12/we-told-you-yes.html ************************************ 
 From Korean Dog Farms Large yellow-colored dogs are considered best for eating. About 3 million of South Korea's 47 million people are estimated to eat dog meat and there are as many as 6,000 restaurants that serve dog meat in South Korea. http://www.animalrights.net/articles/2002/korean-restaurants-may-offer-dog-meat-samples-to-world-cup-tourists/ Why exactly is it gross to eat dogs but OK to slaughter pigs, which, by most measures, are smarter?

A Taste of Baboon and Monkey Meat, and Maybe of Prison, Toohttp://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/17/nyregion/17meat.htmlIt takes strategic thinking to find monkey meat in New York. Best to avoid the word "monkey," for one thing — start with something innocuous-sounding, like "dry meat," .... Seek out the proprietors of tiny West African restaurants, or the "bushmeat market queens" who do business out of their homes. That is, if you can find them. And if they trust you enough to sell it to you. Reliable statistics are hard to come by, but Heather E. Eves, director of the Bushmeat Crisis Task Force, a nonprofit organization based in Washington, estimated that more than 15,000 pounds of bushmeat come to market in the United States every month, of which only a tiny fraction is intercepted. **************************  Whale MeatWalmart Sells Whale Meat in Japan

>> No-Kill Assessment in Jeopardy, "Bite-Case" POUND POLICY Threat to Animals  As of October of this year, the City of Houston agreed to hire "No-Kill" Advocacy specialist, Nathan Winograd to perform an assessment of Houston's animal control (BARC). The citizens of Houston raised all the money to pay for Mr. Winograd's services. Since that time, the assessment contract has yet been languishing in the City's Legal Dept. To date, it is still UNSIGNED. This is 9 weeks after the City's Legal dept received it. NEW Unreasonable BARC "Bite-Case" Policy categorizes simple scratches as dangerous "bites" which will result in increased and unnecessary animal death at city pound. Especially at risk are puppies and kittens who can't avoid harmless scratching. Outraged citizens must make their voices heard in time for change at City Government. Please find sample letters and contact information for City Leaders at No-Kill Houston . Impounded animals need your help NOW.
Please visit www.nokillhouston.org >> Another (1st Saturdays) Fun-Filled Pet "Meet & Greet" in the Heights , Jan 3  Friends of BARC and the Cooper Clinic are hosting another fun-filled monthly "Meet & Greet" event this Saturday, 1136 Heights Blvd from Noon to 5:00 PM (NEW HOURS)!
