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.

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?
