Selena Gomez hör inte till de mest skandalösa av de unga Hollywoodstjärnorna, men nu har även hon lyckats provocera. 18-åringens senaste rubriker handlar dock varken om nakenbilder eller missbruk, utan om något så udda som rosa ponnies.

Då sångerskans nyligen spelade in musikvideon till nya låten ”Love You Like a Love Song” på stranden i Malibu hade hon med sig två hästar som målats rosa. Något som ogillades starkt av kollegan Pink.

Trots artistnamnet var alltså Pink starkt kritisk till hästmålandet, och var inte rädd för att uttrycka sina åsikter på Twitter.

On World Vet Day (30th April 2011), WSPA celebrates the life-saving work of vets in Bali who, over the last year, have helped the island achieve a marked decrease in rabies through mass vaccination of dogs.

Every year, rabies kills more than 55,000 people across the world – the vast majority are children who suffer untreated bites from infected dogs. The human health implications of rabies remain so grave that the World Veterinary Association has chosen to highlight the disease as its chosen theme for 2011.

Dr Elly Hiby, Scientific Advisor at WSPA, said, “Veterinary science, animal welfare and human health are all closely interlinked. As World Vet Day focuses attention on rabies as one of the most deadly zoonoses, the vets in Bali send out a powerful message through their success: the mass vaccination of dogs is the most humane and effective form of rabies control and saves the greatest number of lives – both human and animal.”

IDA’s 2010 list of the Ten Worst Zoos for Elephants exposes the hidden suffering of elephants in zoos, where lack of space, unsuitably cold climates and impoverished social groupings condemn Earth?s largest land mammals to lifetimes of deprivation, disease and early death. “The Ten Worst Zoos for Elephants list is an SOS for suffering elephants and a call for mammoth change,” said IDA Elephant Campaign Director Catherine Doyle. “Caging elephants in urban zoo displays is not humane and it is not conservation.”

Zoos making the 2010 list are: San Antonio Zoo (Texas),Edmonton Valley Zoo (Canada), Buttonwood Park Zoo(Mass.), Central Florida Zoo (Fla.), Niabi Zoo (Ill.), Topeka Zoo (Kan.), Honolulu Zoo (Hawaii), Wildlife Safari (Ore.),York’s Wild Kingdom Zoo (Maine) tied with Southwick’s Zoo(Mass.), Pittsburgh Zoo’s ICC (Penn.). San Diego Zoo Safari Park (Calif.) earns a dishonorable mention.

The fur industry is responsible for the intense suffering and death of over 100 million animals every year. Animals that die to produce non-essential luxury items include rabbits, foxes, minks, raccoons, seals, wolves, coyotes, squirrels, cats and dogs.
85 per cent of animals used to produce fur are commercially farmed. The small barren cages, with injury-causing wire floors, keep production costs low and profits high.
But every animal pays the price: a stress-filled life devoid of the most basic natural behaviours: running, playing, burrowing, or even experiencing daylight.
Most fur animals are killed for their first winter coat, aged about eight months. So high quality fur products do not indicate a lifetime of wellbeing – rather that the animal only shed its filthy, matted infant fur just before death.
Finally, farmed animals face horrifically cruel methods of slaughter, including electrocution and live skinning. These preserve the pelt, but cause unimaginable pain.
To combat this industrial-scale cruelty, WSPA supports the world’s biggest anti-fur coalition: the Fur Free Alliance. Find out what you can do below.
Let’s kill off fur!

It is estimated that more animals die to meet current demand for fur trim than for entire fur coats: less fur per item is not less cruel

In August this year I’m going to Nairobi, Kenya on my own to study my second high school year on the Swedish school for 10 months. Last fall I dropped out of school because I needed a break. I knew then that I wanted to do something over the ordinary. A couple of months ago I saw that my friend lived in Nairobi on facebook and curious as I am I wondered what she was doing down there. I searched Nairobi on Google and one of the first things that came up was the Swedish school. I started to read more and more about it and I knew then that I was going to be there next year. I’ve heard of Swedish schools in Paris and London before but never in Kenya. And it really trapped my interest of reading my second high school in Nairobi, Kenya. So now it's decided that I'm going to read there in August. :D
