PETA India: Anjelica Huston to Hollywood: ‘No More Monkey Business’
“Please use the form below to demand that the Animal Welfare Board of India refuse to grant filmmakers permission to shoot or air films and commercials in India which use chimpanzees or orang-utans. Also ask the Advertising Standards Council of India to amend its guidelines to prohibit the use of chimpanzees and orang-utans in commercials.”
Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM): Save Dogs from Trauma Training at the University of Michigan
“Documents obtained by PCRM under the Michigan Freedom of Information Act reveal that UM is using lost or surrendered pets—including a silver-and-black malamute named Koda—from Michigan shelters for the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) course. At UM, this course involves cutting open live, anesthetized dogs and practicing emergency medical procedures. After the training session, the animals are killed. All of this happens even though UM owns a validated nonanimal teaching method as part of its state-of-the-art medical simulation center.”
Planned Parenthood: REPEAL THE GLOBAL GAG RULE
“The Reagan-era global gag rule mandated that no U.S. family planning assistance funding can be given to organizations that provide abortion services, offer counseling and referral for abortion care, or advocate legal abortion access in their own countries — even if they do so with their own funds. International reproductive health care organizations have faced a dangerous dilemma: either accept desperately needed U.S. funds but deny women life-saving services and information, or reject U.S. assistance and be forced to cut crucial prevention services. The global gag rule has meant that approximately 200 million women around the world have faced enormous barriers in seeking family planning services. Ask the Obama administration to overturn the global gag rule as soon as possible by adding your name below.”

About
The easyVegan Link Sanctuary is a near-daily roundup of animal and environmental advocacy news, action alerts, carnivals, events and resources. This link roundup is meant as a jumping-off point for you, the reader, to take further action and learn more about the issues presented here. I link, you decide!
If you have a link you’d like included, please drop me a line at easyvegan [at] gmail.com – or leave it in the comments! Feedback is also appreciated, particularly as it relates to the links included below. I’ve tried my best to identify and name any speciesism, sexism, racism, classism, homophobia, sizeism, etc. which may appear in the resources below; if, however, I’ve overlooked something, please leave a note in the comments. It’s not my desire to fight one form of oppression by engaging in another.
If you’d like to sign up for any of these newsletters or action alert listservs, I’ve compiled a full list of all my resources on the Get Active! page.
