Candle 79, one of New York's most ambitious vegan restaurants
| Review: I take my meat-eating parents and in-laws there when they're in town because they make fabulous vegan meals that satisfy even the biggest meat eaters. I'm an ethical vegan as well as a picky eater. With animal agriculture being the biggest contributor to global warming people should reconsider what they eat. Candle 79 shows how delicious vegan meals can be. It's not difficult to make great vegan food, but Candle brings this way of eating to a whole new level. I HIGHLY recommend them for their great food, for the animal's sake, the environment and your own health! |

"Every child who dies of hunger in today's world has been murdered," accused Jean Ziegler, former United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food. Indeed, how can any society calling itself civilized accept that while
worldwide every five seconds a child dies because she or he is hungry.
The non-stop misery caused by hunger calls urgently for fresh strategies, of which vegetarianism must be one! ************

>> CALL TO ACTION. Urgent press release from from NO-KILL HOUSTON:
CITY LEADERS STALL NO KILL ASSESSMENT CONTRACT AT BARC
In October 2008, City of Houston officials agreed to hire Nathan Winograd, the leading expert in No Kill sheltering to assess BARC, the City's high kill, animal control facility. However, over 2 months have passed and the assessment contract has not been executed by the City, even though Houstonians donated funds to pay Mr. Winograd's fee. Additionally, City officials have not agreed to hire Mr. Winograd to recruit the new Bureau Chief for BARC which is the most important factor in reducing the kill rate there.
Further, in the past few weeks, the interim Bureau Chief has enacted several interim procedures which make it increasingly difficult, and in some cases impossible, to get adoptable animals out of BARC alive.
Join animal advocates planning visit to City Council. Probable date Jan 13. Please contact NO-KILL HOUSTON for details and show support.

Last Chance to Speak Up AGAINST Factory
Fish Prisons in our Gulf:
Final PUBLIC HEARING on Open Ocean AQUACULTURE
Texas will soon legalize factory farming of fish in the Gulf of Mexico. This is your LAST CHANCE to voice opposition to the creation of these horribly cruel, polluting and unnatural industry operations. A strong opposition movement last year caused regulators to postpone final action. However now approval seems likely without a strong public outcry. These overcrowded cages in the open ocean, fighting and struggling with each other are an immoral last ditch effort to squeeze more fish meat out of waters already exploited close to the point of collapse.
Voice your opposition now AGAINST Open Ocean Aquaculture by contacting the body handling public comment, The Gulf Coast Fisheries Council:
