This year, please send the turkeys to a credible sanctuary that has experts in turkey behavior and care, where Sasha and Malia would be able to visit them, along with other rescued animals.

The People for Ethical Treatment of Animals named 9-year-old Perry Martijena of Jersey City the World's Cutest Vegetarian Boy. I am not making this up.

Considering that the meat industry produces 40 percent more greenhouse gas emissions than all the world's transportation systems, we see no reason to back down in our criticism of Al Gore, among others.

Sir Roger Moore has spent the past several years going after those who make their living by force-feeding ducks and geese, often until their livers burst, to create foie gras - French for "fatty liver."

If we don't stand up to bullies like this, it won't end until bland, stale programming, not targeted to anyone in particular, airs on every single channel, on every time of night, on every website around the world.

People want unhealthy foods almost as much as they want health care. America is getting fatter, largely because we don't realize that killing animals and squeezing the cheese out of them, perhaps especially the cheese, is slowly killing us too.

Vick has paid his debt to society. Yes, he practiced killing and torture and violated the code of conduct he was sworn to uphold. That doesn't make him a monster. That makes him Dick Cheney.

All of us who eat meat, attend rodeos, circuses, zoos and horse races and yet hand Michael Vick the bill for more systemic animal abuses in our society may find ourselves needing another chance one day, too.

In what other profession besides pro sports would a person convicted of running a massive dogfighting ring be welcomed back to their old employer almost immediately upon release from prison?

My initial reaction to the Michael Vick signing is disgust. Sure he can run a "wildcat" formation, but does that justify inviting the protests and ill will that will follow the Eagles everywhere, including at home?

While the work that PETA does is commendable in many aspects, I often think that they go too far

Would you feel differently about circus animals doing back flips or dancing on cue if you knew they were being hit with a bull hook or struck with a whip?

It takes a lot to get circusgoers to see beyond the headdresses and glitter to that metal-tipped bullhook sinking into an elephant's soft flesh behind her ears and knees.

To label the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society "terrorists" is a very bold statement, and a reckless one at that. After all, it is a curious terrorist organization that hasn't actually killed anybody.

Birds are in misery as pipes are shoved down their throats several times a day and they're pumped so full of food that their livers become diseased and balloon up.
