		<description><![CDATA[Several years ago, Hugh and I started our new Thanksgiving tradition of adopting a turkey from Farm Sanctuary. We&#8217;ve always been urban dwellers, so actual adoption beyond our one beautiful kitty isn&#8217;t an option. But, Farm Sanctuary offers remote adoptions of their rescued turkey folk.

		<description><![CDATA[William Shakespeare gets a bad rap for all of the Starlings. The story (or rumor) goes that some Victorian-era Shakespeare fans &#8212; misguided to be sure &#8212; hatched a plan to colonize, on U.S. soil, every bird species featured in Shakespeare&#8217;s plays. According to this Scientific American article a group known as the American Acclimatization [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[William C. Rhoden, writing for the New York Times posted a piece on April 30 about the devastating contribution the horse racing industry makes to horse slaughter. Although the last horse slaughterhouse in the United States closed in 2007, horses, including thoroughbreds, are routinely shipped across our borders to land in foreign slaughterhouses.
