East Bay Animal Advocates is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in the San Francisco Bay Area. California is home to one of the most industrious and concentrated animal agriculture areas in the world. Through consumer education, corporate outreach, direct aid and legal research, our mission is to examine and analyze the impact of the California agricultural industry on animals, humans and the environment.
"The latest show about Jan haagensen was simply shocking - I'll support her case. These "hunters" are a shame on humanity - hunting was a necessity in previous centuries but it's become simply entertainment for cowards. Great you're making Vancouver an international center for discussion!!!" - Andalusia
"The Jan Haagensen interview was excellent and I hope they do invalidate the whole hunter harassment statue because it is unconstitutional. I like this women and her love for animals. Seems quite a lot of people know Jan as their "hero" already, so it's great news. And thank you Anthony for a great radio program." - Tierra
"Really Good interview, Jan Haagensen is a Great Lady!" - Dominique
"That hunter who threatened Jan and her mother should have been charged with making a terrorist threat. Which is also a felony by the way." - Wolf
Anthony Marr will be speaking at the Animal Rights Conference (www.ARConference.org) on his own plan to challenge the Hunter Harassment laws of other states for being unconstitutional.

For 30 years, Jan Haagensen has been harassed and her farm in PA invaded with impunity by hunters, and her NO HUNTING signs and fences repeatedly torn down. 10 years ago, she had had enough, and approached the trespassing hunters to ask them to leave, and asked a hunter engaged in illegal hunting to cease and desist. When a hunter threatened to shoot her and her mother, she called police, which sided chummily with the hunters, and later charged her with 5 counts of "hunter harassment". The "kangaroo court" convicted her on all 5 counts. Being an attorney, she appealed to the appellate court and won, and is now challenging the PA Hunter Harassment Statute in federal court as being unconstitutional for inhibiting free speech and violating property rights. If she wins, doors will be open for challenging the equally unconstitutional Hunter Harassment laws of other states.
Jan will be Anthony Marr's guest on Animal Voices this Friday, July 3, 3-4pm-ET/12-1pm-PT, online live at www.CoOpRadio.org. If you missed it, go to www.myspace.com/AnthonyMarr where the interviews are archived. Call-in hotline 1-604-684-7561.
SB 250 at a glance Each year, over $250 million dollars is spent housing and euthanizing homeless dogs and cats in California. Approximately 1 million dogs and cats enter California’s shelters each year, and over half of them are euthanized (killed) simply because there are not enough homes. Right now in California our shelters are seeing an explosion of animals coming into the shelters due to the bad economy, meanwhile the shelters are faced with budget cuts and laying 20 off staff. This enormous number of homeless pets is a moral and ethical crisis, and an expensive drain on our state's finances. SB 250 provides a reasonable, fiscally responsible step towards reducing pet overpopulation in California in two ways: by fostering responsible pet ownership through increased animal licensing, and by offering incentives for owners to spay and neuter their pets. Please note that SB 250 does not affect feral cat caregivers. The bill applies only to pets that live on your property. Before this economic downturn we needed SB 250, but now we cannot afford another year without it. Just this past week our state passed an expensive milestone... since January 1, 2009, California has now spent over $100,000,000 tax dollars just to house and euthanize the unwanted pets in our state. Please help prevent the needless suffering of dogs and cats in our shelters, support the overburdened shelter staff that cares for them and the rescue organizations who try to save them.
Thank you so much for adding us. It is people like you that can truly make a difference. New York City has started their round up of 2,000 Canada geese to send to the gas chambers. 800 have been killed so far. Please visit our page to find out what you can do to help...thank you!
