Humane Hijackers Take Over TWTRCON Feed
As NASA public affairs specialist Stephanie Schierholz took to the stage at Monday’s TWTRCON to weigh in on “customer service,” animal defenders elsewhere took to their Twitter accounts and took over the #TWTRCON hashtag—specifically weighing in on NASA’s plan to fund a misguided, cruel, and wasteful experiment in which dozens of squirrel monkeys would be blasted with harmful space radiation. Tweets about NASA’s radiation experiments started appearing on large projectors flanking the sides of the stage that the conference was using to display tweets about the event. One attendee reported that after the NASA representative responded to the surprise Twitter protest by shrugging her shoulders and rolling her eyes, curious audience members could be heard tapping on their keyboards for more information about NASA’s plans to bankroll the torment of monkeys at the Brookhaven National Laboratory and Harvard’s McLean Hospital.

PETA Pays Fine for ‘Cowardly’ Bullfighter
On Sunday in Mexico City, bullfighter Cristian Hernández left the ring in the middle of a fight. After he was arrested and charged a fine for breach of contract, he announced his retirement from bullfighting, saying, “I didn’t have the ability, I didn’t have the balls, this is not my thing.” Well, we don’t think that’s exactly right. I mean, any coward can bully an animal.

Summer Shorts Get Way Edgier With Leather!
Believe it or not, just in time for summer, leather is creepin’ from your favorite outerwear staple to take over the realm of shorts. While the idea of leather shorts may bring forth nightmarish images of your mom in her “heyday,” today’s versions aren’t limited just to skintight hot pants.

Quake at PETCO Stadium Leaves One Brick Intact
Phew! PETA’s “BOYCOTT PETCO” brick* survived the 5.7-magnitude earthquake that shook San Diego’s PETCO Park on Monday—and here’s a photo snapped by an activist last night to prove it: Don’t get me wrong—PETA loves the stadium’s tasty, animal-friendly eats but hates the massive suffering that PETCO causes by buying animals from shady dealers and selling them to anyone who walks in, intentions be damned . Animals like the poor fellow below who are bred for and shipped to PETCO and other pet stores get their world shaken to pieces every single day by being mishandled, abused, or even thrown into the trash to die. They are crammed en masse into crowded, filthy containers at animal distributors such as U.S.

Why I Put Down the Red Nose
The following is a guest post from blogger and former Ringling clown André du Broc I’ve spent much of my life in careers centered around making others happy. As an actor, I believed that my first responsibility was to the audience. They needed to be delighted and engaged by everything that I did on stage.

Protest SeaWorld From Your Living Room
From plane flyovers to 18-hour tub-ins , people are saying “enough” to SeaWorld’s exploitation of orcas, bottlenose dolphins, and other animals. And now, even if you live nowhere near Orlando, San Antonio, or San Diego—where SeaWorld forces marine mammals to spend their entire lives in tiny tanks—you can still make a difference for animals if you RSVP to our virtual protest on Facebook and participate in it on June 18. SeaWorld, which owns most of the captive orcas and bottlenose dolphins in the U.S., has a hideous history of animal exploitation.

Reccession Chic: Hot Shorts For Hot Days At $50 Or Less!
The ways that we wear shorts have broadened over the last few seasons with these thigh-skimming pieces now not just a day time look, but also accepted at fancier evening affairs and even on the red carpet. While shorts made of satin or heavier, stiffer materials look sexy but polished for night, especially when paired with killer stilettos , shorts still look the best when used the way they were meant to be.

Hot In The Hive: Baumraums’ Amazing Treehouses!
Remember when you were younger and the idea of having a cool tree-house of your very own would’ve sent you into convulsions of happiness? Maybe you didn’t have a tree-house, but if you were lucky, a friend did and you could go there and pig out on snacks that had been excommunicated from your cupboards at home and read your fill of comic books and magazines .Or you were like me and compensated by building forts out of blankets and furniture
