Let Your Style Take Flight With Feather Jewelry
Forget everything you’ve ever thought about feathers in regards to fashion — they’re not always best left to the birds or on tacky “Dancing with the Stars” costumes. When embraced with an open mind, feather jewelry just might be your hottest summer accessory, and I mean actual feathers, not textured gold or molded silver feather impressions! Feather jewelry is authentically boho-chic in that earthy, Pocahontas sort of style — or at least, the effortlessly gorgeous image of Pocahontas that Disney has ingrained in our minds — and has that down-to-earth vibe that looks feminine and pretty, yet slightly undone. Go laidback-luxe with a long strand necklace like this vintage piece from Shopbop , or opt for a more vintage-glamorous, boa-inspired look with a long chain bib necklace from Charlotte Russe
The Video YouTube Won’t Let You See
Share on Facebook | Viewing Options Embed Animals who are bred and killed for their fur in China live in misery from birth to death. Chinchillas, foxes, minks, raccoons—and, yes, even dogs and cats—are jammed into crowded wire cages, and the close confinement and filthy conditions quickly lead to mental illness. As documented in our undercover video, fur farmers kill animals by bashing their heads in or breaking their necks while they are still conscious.

Machu Picchu Surprise!
The ancient Incan city of Machu Picchu is in danger of being eroded by constant tourist traffic , which has prompted PETA to make it the second destination for our plus-size virtual “tourist.” Hopefully, his message will help restore this awe-inspiring attraction, which is one of the ” New Seven Wonders of the World .”: Click here to see the Spanish version of the banner. Vegans are, on average, 10 to 20 pounds lighter than their meat- and dairy-consuming counterparts. By shrinking their waists, tourists would also reduce their monumental carbon footprints

Bag Of The Week: DKNY Pleated Nappa Leather Shopper
Although I always joke about how big bags are getting these days, I secretly love it. Handbag and tote sizes have gotten so big that I swear there’s more room inside some of them than my own humble living arrangements, but that’s the appeal

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.

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.
