Motorist kills dog, sues owner
Filed under: Animal Rights
After crashing into and killing Fester, a 13-pound miniature pinscher that ran into the road in Cloquet, a small town outside of Duluth, Jeffery Ely has decided to sue the dog's owner. Fester snuck out without a leash when its owner was trying to let the family’s other dogs inside.
Ely is requesting $1,100 for damages to repair his 1997 Honda Civic and to account for the time he had to take of from his two jobs to get the car repaired and court fees.

Dog Days at Westminster redux: the triumph of Stella
Filed under: Animal Rights
This past weekend, three-year-old Stella hopped across the pond and won the reserve "Best of Breed" award at the prestigious Crufts dog-show competition in Birmingham, England.
Earlier this month, we chatted Hennepin County Sheriff's Detention Deputy/dog handler Darryl Cooper about his pupil Stella, a Spinone Italiano. Stella went home empty handed after the Westminster Dog Show in New York, but this time around, things panned out in her favor.

Dog Days at Westminster for a man and his best friend
Filed under: Animal Rights
When Hennepin County Sheriff's Detention Deputy Darryl Cooper arrived at the Minneapolis-St Paul airport on Sunday morning, he discovered that thanks to the sub-zero temperatures, his flight was canceled.
So Cooper did what any average person trying to get a flight out to New York City would do: he drove nine hours to Kansas City, where he proceeded to miss his flight, and then wait 14 hours for another one. He killed the time tending to some grooming matters, and then boarded a plane to Dallas, Texas, where he twiddled his thumbs for good portion of early Monday morning. Cooper eventually got on his flight, but Stella, a three-year-old pooch, beat him to punch.

Underwater Adventures (one of the spots Matt Snyders visited during his MoA foray) now has a YouTube page, and both of the videos are Jesse the giant shark munching on an unfortunate, smaller white-tipped shark.

U of M to acquire eggs from cage-free poultry
Filed under: Animal Rights
Suffer the chickens that reside in cages. That's the philosophy now adopted by the dining services at the U of M. Last month they passed a resolution stating that the 2,800 pounds of liquid eggs the dining services purchase each week will now be from cage-free poultry. The change comes with the ringing endorsement of animal rights group the Compassionate Action of Animals who have campaigned for the cause for over a year.
"Compassionate Action for Animals is delighted that the University of Minnesota has taken the important step of withdrawing support for one of factory farming's worst cruelties—highly restrictive caging of hens," says Gil Schwartz, campaign coordinator for CAA. "This move, from one of the United States' largest universities, is sending a clear message to the egg industry: that battery eggs are simply too cruel for any socially responsible school to support."
