Take Action: Be An Animal Hero - Donate To Animal Place! -
Founded in 1989, Animal Place is one of the oldest and largest sanctuaries for farmed animals in the country. Nestled on 600-acres in Grass Valley, CA, Animal Place provides refuge to hundreds of neglected farmed animals. The 300 animals at the refuge are permanent residents.
Animals arrive from small and large farms, slaughterhouses, research facilities, and neglect or cruelty cases. All animals find a haven where all their needs are met and their individual quirks respected. Animal Place offer tours, cooking classes and workshops at the sanctuary as well as volunteer and internship opportunities. Because factory farming takes the lives of 10 billion land animals each year in the United States, Animal Place promotes a vegan, cruelty-free lifestyle.
Even a small donation can help recently rescued Lucy and the 300 other animals at the sanctuary. Be a hero for the animals - donate!

Prior to this study, Bt was thought to be toxic only to insects, but recent studies are proving otherwise.

Japan Suspends Imports Of GMO Wheat From U.S. -
Japan, the largest market for U.S. wheat exports, suspended imports from the United States and canceled a major purchase of white wheat on Thursday after the recent discovery of unapproved genetically modified wheat in an 80-acre field in Oregon.
How the altered crop made its way to the Oregon field remains a mystery. The strain was developed by Monsanto to make wheat resistant to the company’s own industry-leading weed killer. Monsanto tested the type of altered seed in more than a dozen states, including Oregon, between 1994 and 2005, but it was never approved for commercial use.
