Is Meatless Monday a threat to national security? Apparently so, according to some members of Congress who represent big meat-producing states.

Maine’s governor wasn’t too pleased by HSUS’s latest undercover investigation of his state’s biggest egg producer. Perhaps the most diplomatic thing I could say about his response is that he’s quite confused.

Finally, just how smart are fishes? The prestigious New York Review of Books this week reviews my coworker Jonathan Balcombe’s new book on fish sentience, along with two others on animal intelligence.
