News From IDA's Hope Animal Sanctuary - More Rescues!

A few weeks ago we told you about IDA's Hope Animal Sanctuary being granted custody of 15 starving horses and a mule in Yazoo County, Mississippi. All of the horses were placed in foster homes where they are receiving much-needed nourishment and loving care. But the mule eluded capture, earning the name Flying Wind. This past Sunday, a team from IDA, along with a team from Have A Heart Horse Rescue (HAHHR), finally accomplished the safe confinement of Flying Wind.

Pictured here is a donkey named Percy who we just rescued. Click here to read more about Percy and Flying Wind.

Tucson Elephant Update - Will Connie And Shaba Stay Together?

After Tucson, Arizona city officials and the Reid Park Zoo were deluged with tens of thousands of emails protesting the planned separation of long-time companions Connie and Shaba, and legendary animal activist Bob Barker offered to donate $500,000 toward the construction of a facility at the PAWS Sanctuary where their bond would be preserved for life (the amount would cover half the cost), the city announced that the two elephants would stay together after all. However, the pair will be sent to the San Diego Zoo where, unfortunately, their future together is far from guaranteed. Click here to read more, and send an e-mail asking that the two friends be kept together.

It is the policy of In Defense of Animals to no longer use language that accepts the current concept of animals as property, commodities and/or things. Rather than refer to ourselves or others as "owners" of animals we share our lives with, we now refer to ourselves and others as "guardians" of our animal friends and to animals as "he" or "she" rather than "it."

"Animals have been regarded as property for way too long. It's high time we took on a more loving and responsible relationship with our kindred beings in the web of life on this beautiful planet. I always think and act as a guardian towards my kindred beings, never as their owner."

Jim Mason, author, An Unnatural Order
