DURATION
1. THE ODD COUPLE: OWEN AND MZEE
The recent Tsunami made an orphan of Owen, a baby hippo, but he soon found an inseparable friend in Mzee, an 132-year-old tortoise. It all happened in Kenya. (Video thanks to CNN)
2. CROSSING THE HIGHWAY—The animals try a new approach in France
"The Animal's life" (La Vie des Animaux) shows a hind, a rabbit and a beaver crossing the road with help of a trampoline. When the highway crosses a forest, the problem of the animals' protection is at stake. That is why Les Sociétés d'Autoroutes are implementing some protected passages for animals.
3. QUICKSPAY With Dr. W. Marvin Mackie, DVM. Learn all about the benefits of early spaying and neutering, and how new anesthetics and procedures have removed most risk from these indispensable operations. WARNING! Do NOT attempt under any circumstances to perform any of these procedures at home or allow them to be performed by an unqualified person. All surgical interventions in the lower abdominal area or inside the abdominal cavity carry a grave risk of immediate death or subsequent lethal infection. Only a fully qualified, experienced veterinarian should be entrusted with these procedures.
4. Multigroup Spanish demonstration against animal abuse, in front of Spain's ruling party, the PSOE. Note that some people bang on pots. After decades of silence on this issue, Spain has registered a swift awakening in this area, and now the country boasts many organizations doing remarkable work on every animal rights issue, including the emblematic anti-bullfighting effort.
5. Few things exemplify better the ugliness of unexamined traditions than the Spanish "corridas", surely one of the most repugnant spectacles in the world today, but one which still claims the allegiance of millions of fans in the name of "sport" and national pride.
6. The near impossible sometimes happens: A pregnant deer gets hit on the freeway and dies. A passing motorist (a rancher) decides to save the baby—and does, by administering mouth to snout resuscitation.
7. Another expose of this brutal spectacle filmed in Spain by American activists. We focus on bullfights—despite the fact that they concern relatively small numbers of animals when compared with the daily carnage of billions of fellow non-human creatures—because these spectacles summarize with eloquence the callousness and depravity of which the human species is capable in its treatment of other species. But we know that already, don't we?
