Santa Claus
North Pole, North Pole
December 23, 1996

Dear Santa:

Listen you ugly little troll, I've been helping you out every year,
playing at being the perfect Christmas Present, wearing skimpy bathing
suits in frigid weather, and drowning in fake tea from one too many
tea parties, and I hate to break it to ya Santa, but IT'S DEFINITELY
PAYBACK TIME!

There had better be some changes around here this Christmas, or I'm
gonna call for a nationwide meltdown (and trust me, you won't wanna be
around to smell it).  So, here's my holiday wish list for 1997, Santa:

1.  A nice, comfy pair of sweat pants and a frumpy, oversized
sweatshirt. I'm sick of looking like a hooker.  How much smaller are
these bathing suits gonna get?  Do you have any idea what it feels
like to have nylon and velcro crawling up your butt?

2.  Real underwear that can be pulled on and off.  Preferably white.
What bonehead at Mattel decided to cheap out and MOLD imitation
underwear to my skin?!?  It looks like cellulite!

3.  A REAL man...maybe GI Joe.  Hell, I'd take Tickle-Me Elmo over that
wimped-out excuse for a boytoy Ken.  And what's with that earring
anyway?  If I'm gonna have to suffer with him, at least make him (and
me) anatomically correct.

4.  Arms that actually bend so I can push the aforementioned Ken-wimp
away once he is anatomically correct.

5.  Breast reduction surgery.  I don't care whose arm you have to
twist, get it done.

6.  A jogbra.  To wear until I get the surgery.

7.  A new career.  Pet doctor and school teacher just don't cut it.  How
about a systems analyst?  Or better yet, an public relations senior
account exec!

8.  A new, more 90s persona.  Maybe "PMS Barbie", complete with a
miniature container of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and a bag
of chips; "Animal Rights Barbie", with my very own paint gun,
outfitted with a fake fur coat, bottle of spray on blood and
handcuffs; or "Stop Smoking Barbie," sporting a removable Nicotrol
patch and equipped with several packs of gum.

9.  No more McDonald's endorsements.  The grease is wrecking  my vinyl.

10.  Mattel stock options. It's been 37 years--I think I deserve it.

Ok, Santa, that's it.  Considering my valuable contribution to
society, I don't think these requests are out of line.  If you
disagree, then you can find yourself a new bitch for next Christmas.
It's that simple.

Yours truly,
Barbie

Subject: US-CT Turkey Olympics Cancelled!

                   Turkey Olympics Cancelled!
     United Poultry Concerns Launched Campaign, Breaks News


On November 17th, 1997, United Poultry Concerns got a call from a
newspaper reporter in Connecticut to say that the Inn at Lake
Waramaug in New Preston, CT cancelled the turkey olympics this year.
Just two months earlier the Inn had told UPC president Karen Davis
that the 1997 turkey olympics was scheduled for Sunday, November
23rd, and that the show--an annual event for 17 years--would go on
"as always."

The turkey olympics was a derisive entertainment in which turkeys
were forced to wear costumes emphasizing sex and violence.  The
costumed turkeys were made to perform "athletics"  so spectators
could laugh at them. This event, which was represented as wholesome
Thanksgiving entertainment, was nothing more than an excuse for
machismo, obscenity, violence, animal cruelty, alcohol, and cheap
news-media coverage. It had little support from the local community.

United Poultry Concerns developed the national campaign to stop the
turkey olympics. (See PoultryPress, Vol. 5, No. 1; Vol. 6, No. 3; &
Vol. 6, No. 4 http://www.envirolink.org/arrs/upc/PoultryPress.html ).
Our Winter/Spring 1995 issue of PoultryPress placed the issue before
animal activists throughout the world for the first time. In addition
to our press releases, we launched a major letter-writing campaign to
the Inn at Lake Waramaug, the local Chamber of Commerce, The Hartford
Courant, and The Litchfield County Times. A batch of protest letters
from UPC members was printed in The Litchfield County Times on March
31, 1995, and again on December 13, 1996.

The Litchfield County Times featured an excellent front-page article
on UPC's protest on November 18, 1994. On May 6, 1995, The Hartford
Courant published an editorial, Show some respect for turkeys. It
condemned the turkey olympics as "sophomoric."  The editors quoted
UPC president, Karen Davis, and UPC member, Linda Fleming of San
Francisco, at length, and stated "That so many people rally to the
cause of a bird bred for roasts, casseroles and clubs is nothing
short of amazing."

Our successful campaign to end the turkey olympics combined the
talents, hard work, and strategies of a national organization, United
Poultry Concerns, and grassroots activists.  Matt Kelly's photographs
and report in 1994 enabled UPC to launch the campaign. The
spectacular on-site demonstration and civil disobedience staged on
November 24, 1996 by more than 50 Northeast activists, organized Pam
Ferdin and Jerry Vlasak, received huge publicity. The Litchfield
County Times observed on November 29, 1997, "The furor surrounding
the event has grown over the past three years as it has become
targeted by national animal rights groups, particularly United
Poultry Concerns."

Activists wishing to thank the Inn should send a short, polite
thank-you letter (no lectures or hostility, please) to The Inn at
Lake Waramaug, 107 North Shore Road, New Preston, CT 06777.

United Poultry Concerns gratefully thanks everyone who joined our
effort to eliminate the turkey olympics. This is a major victory for
turkeys and for entertainment that is based on the voluntary consent
and understanding of all participants.

Thank You!

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Less than a week ago, I announced the new "posting policy" to AR-News
(11/11/97).  Now,   Dawn <[e-mail]> will be banned from
posting for 2 weeks.
----------------------------------------------------
Due to the sudden surge of inappropriate postings to AR-News, the Listowner
(me) will implement a new policy in dealing with such postings.  At the
_earliest_possible_convenient_time_, I will ban the offending individual
from posting to AR-News for a minimum of two (2) weeks.  An individual who
repeatedly posts inappropriate material _may_ be banned from posting
permanently.

***NOTE:  If you are banned from posting, be sure to remind me when the two
weeks are up.  The process to REMOVE the person from a "banned" status does
not always work well.  A potential side effect of the process is that it
may "lock" the AR-News list, meaning that no one may post or
subscribe/unsubscribe.

If you have questions as to the appropriateness of a post, DO NOT HESITATE
to contact the Listowner ( [e-mail] ) concerning the
appropriateness of a news item.  I have supported this in the past, though
these discussions did not make it to the list.

I am avoiding making this a "moderated" list (one in which the Listowner
approves/releases posts to the list) as such action will reduce the speed
of posting -- plus, it puts the decision of what is considered "animal
rights" in the hands of one person.  My goal here is to eliminate non-news,
discussion/opinion posts to AR-News and not to decide what is/isn't *animal
rights* and to allow news items to be posted as rapidly as possible.
Further, a "moderated" list would punish the many for the infractions of
the few.  (Something that I found highly offensive since childhood.)

***If you have problems with this policy, please feel free to e-mail me
_privately_ to discuss this.  (Posting to the list would be inappropriate.)

Book calls Sea World green and savvy

Before it was good to be green, Sea World practiced environmental
responsibility through
its unique manufacture and marketing of the natural world, according to a
just published
book. With sideshow performer Shamu the Killer Whale, Sea World has, for 33
years,
skillfully manipulated environmental messages says University of California
professor
Susan Davis. In her new book "Spectacular Nature: Corporate Culture and the
Sea World
Experience," she says Sea World is a specialized variant of today's theme
parks, successful
because of its ability to integrate advertising, entertainment and
education. This
combination has created a unique brand of corporate environmentalism.

Virginia is for anglers

Commercial saltwater fishing and recreational fishing contribute more than
$1 billion
annually to Virginia coffers according to two recent studies conducted at
the Institute
of Marine Science. Researchers James Kirkley and David Kerstetter found
commercial
fishing generated $465 million in total sales and $326 million in income
while saltwater
angling contributed $477 million in total sales and $269 in income.
Combined, the
two sectors provide full time employment for more than 21,000 workers. Of
the more
than 50 species of finfish and shellfish landed at Virginia ports, blue crab
came
in as the number one cash crop closely followed by menhaden, sea scallops,
oysters,
spot and croaker.

Subject: Update on the baby monkey shipments
Message-ID: <[e-mail]>
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

IPPL has previously posted about shipments of monkeys reaching the United
States from Indonesia in flagrant violation of the US Lacey Acy implementing
regulation barring shipment of ANY infant animals. One shipment of 253
monkeys reaching Chicago in April 1997 contained 20 baby monkeys, from 4
weeks old. A shipment, which started with 255 monkeys, and arrived as 253
following the death of a mother and Air France's cruel killing of her baby,
reached the US in May 1997. This one contained 19 babies, one of them just
three weeks old and several four weeks old. These animals were INDISPUTABLY
UNWEANED INFANTS. Both reached Chicago on Air France. Both shipments were
cleared by the US Fish and Wildlife Service.

Further, the crates were clearly not in compliance with the IATA Guidelines:
they were deplorably constructed, according to a Centers for Disease Control
employee who actually saw the shipments (but never alerted USFWS). In the
course of the May shipment one monkey escaped in Paris. All the caging had
to be reinforced prior to onward shipment.

Further possible violations regarding documentation occured. ALL animals
were declared by the exporter's veterinarian and the Indonesian CITES
Management Authority to be "captive-born." Yet a roster of the hundreds of
monkeys shipped listed monkeys as old as 16 and 17 years, long before the
Indonesian exporter had established a breeding colony. According to an
Indonesian contact, Indonesia's ban on export of wild-caught monkeys started
on 1 April 1994 (the Philippines took the same step around the same time).

On receiving a tip-off about the May shipment in June 1997, IPPL immediately
requested US authorities to investigate, and sought documents under the
Freedom of Information Act which revealed details of the April shipment. We
publicised the shipments in our magazine IPPL News and asked members to
write their congressional representatives.

On 10 November United States Senator Carol Moseley-Braun informed an IPPL
member, presumably this was based on a letter from USFWS to the senator,
this is the ONLY reply IPPL knows of to any of the thousands of people wrote
wrote letters on behalf of the monkeys. USFWS is silent.

------------------------------------------

Thank you for contacting me about your concerns regarding the illegal
importation of baby monkeys from Indonesia.  I appreciate learning of your
views.

U.S. regulations ban the importation of baby monkeys except in rare cases
where they are in need of urgent medical treatment.  This regulation was
imposed for the protection of all young mammals that could be severely
injured or killed in overseas travel.  The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
however, is aware of two illegal shipments of baby monkeys that reached the
O'Hare Airport in Chicago, Illinois-- one in April and one in May of 1997.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is investigating these illegal shipments
and how they were cleared through the O'Hare Airport.  The U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service has taken responsibility for the errors that allowed these
shipments into the U.S., stating that the inspection procedures were
ineffective.  These procedures have now been changed.

I hope you find this information helpful.  Please feel free to continue
sharing your comments and concerns on this or any other issue facing the
State of Illinois or the nation. Carol Moseley-Braun, United States Senator

-----------------------------------------

Nearly six months have passed since IPPL requested action. How can USFWS
claim to still be "investigating" this case when the shipping documents list
each individual animal with his/her date of birth? The case is made on the
documents. Further, IPPL has learned that the Chicago wildlife inspector who
cleared the shipments (without inspecting either the animals or the
documents) is still an inspector. One remedial procedure would have been to
get rid of this "ineffective" person.

While USFWS may indeed "take responsibility" for its admittedly
"ineffective" inspection procedures, surely this should not exempt anyone
culpably involved in the April and May shipments (clearly this involves at a
minimum Air France and, to the extent they knew babies were going to be
shipped, the importer) from prosecution.

My impression is that USFWS prefers to ignore simple cases (like this one)
where guilt and/or responsibility is obvious and concentrate on complicated
set-ups and stings that take months of agent time and cost tens or hundreds
of thousands of taxpayer dollars, and which sometimes in the end generate
token punishments, or confiscations of valuable animals (sometimes
distributed in a controversial manner), or "leniency motions" for
cooperating crooks who would otherwise end up in prison.

IPPL has learned that Air France is under heavy pressure to start carrying
monkeys again, which it stopped after negative publicity about the shipments.

The last remaining dog electrocution device used in BC is to be taken out

Hughes denies the move had anything to do with the adverse publicity
generated recently, which resulted in a 3,000-name petition being handed to
North Cowichen District Council earlier this week. Hughes said he planned
to retire the machine anyway.

The southern Vancouver Island council decided to support Hughes' use of the

Hughes says he felt some of the comments made about him during the recent

Message-ID: <[e-mail]>



Date:     97-11-21 11:25:41 EST
From:     AOL News
BCC: LMANHEIM

    PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- In a study designed to
find out
which animal could solve more difficult problems, chimpanzees were
found to
have a higher order of intelligence than monkeys, according to a
paper
presented at today's meeting of the Psychonomics Society.
          Psychologists David Oden of La Salle University and Roger
Thompson of
Franklin and Marshall College trained chimpanzees and monkeys in
the use of
matching symbols, and asked them to show relationships between
identical and
different pair of symbols, say letters AA, BB, CC, and YZ.
          As an example, if the chimps and monkeys were shown an X,
then shown an X
and Y, both animals were able to match the Xs.  If the animals were
shown XY,
then shown AA and AB, they were able to match the XY with the AB
because each
perceived that the XY and AB were somehow similar.  But when each
was taught
that a symbol, such as a triangle, was representative of
similarity,
chimpanzees could use this symbol to determine relationships.
Monkeys could
learn that the triangle "meant" similar, but were unable to apply
the use of
this symbol in matching problems.  The researchers used
two-year-old monkeys
and chimpanzees in their study.
          This was the first-ever study conducted to use the
conceptual matching
task using chimpanzees and monkeys.  While scientists have debated
for years
abut which species is smarter, says Oden, there hadn't been a study
to
determine intelligence factors using both chimpanzees and monkeys.
          "The monkeys were able to identify a physical
representation," says Oden,
"such as matching Xs.  They can perceive similarities in
relationships, but
can't use it to solve conceptual matching problems."
          "I'm sure the monkey people will disagree with us, but we
think this shows
that chimpanzees are smarter," says Oden.  "We gave the monkeys the
same
skills, but they weren't able to apply it."
