   Animal Welfare Approved's Blurbs
About me:
The Animal Welfare Approved program and food label promote the well-being of animals and the sustainability of humane family farms. We unite conscientious consumers with farmers who raise their animals with compassion. Animal Welfare Approved is "setting the standard for how farm animals should be taken care of," according to Robert. F. Kennedy, Jr. Food labels are packed with information, but some words can be confusing, if not downright misleading. A dozen eggs in a carton boasting the statement "farm fresh," for example, have probably not come from anything that looks remotely like a farm. A dairy cow is far from "happy" at an industrial facility where she never grazes on pasture. And "natural" is not synonymous with "high-welfare"-in fact, the former term refers only to meat processing, not the animals' lives. Animal Welfare Approved LabelNow there is a label with nothing to hide. We are proud of our Animal Welfare Approved standards, the most rigorous and progressive animal care requirements in the nation. Today, hundreds of participating family farms are putting each individual animal's comfort and well-being first. The program benefits all of us with the simple understanding that our own best interests are intrinsically linked to animals and the environment. These standards seek to ensure that cattle graze on green pastures; sows can build nests before giving birth; ducks are always able to swim in clean water; and chickens can forage, dust-bathe and spread their wings. But the Animal Welfare Approved seal is not just a list of rules. It is a philosophy of respect that provides animals on the farm with the environment, housing and diet they need to engage in essential instinctive behaviors, thereby promoting physiological and psychological health and well-being.

Who I'd like to meet:
Only family farms can earn our seal. Families who own, labor on and earn a meaningful livelihood from their farms have a true commitment and connection to their animals that is lost on factory farms managed by distant, corporate owners and run by hired hands. We strive to revitalize a culture of independent family farms, in which a humane ethic can be passed on to future generations.

Finned Shark
Shark finning is animal torture. During this process, fins are ripped off the living animal. The poor creature, is then thrown overboard to sink to the bottom where is lies motionless and dies a slow and painful death. You have an opportunity to help stop this hideous practice, without spending a dime. American Express will fund the program that receives the most popular votes. PLEASE vote for the sharks, vote to stop this senseless torture... It only takes a few minutes and you can make the world a better place. Please copy this link into your browser, follow the directions to vote and MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
