A national animal welfare organization says it has evidence that a local exotic animal business broke federal laws by illegally transporting animals across state lines as recently as June 28. In a letter to a top federal Fish and Wildlife law enforcement official, Washington, D.C. based representatives of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals are demanding an investigation.

Animal rights group plans to join other groups in reserving a new .xxx domain featuring 'pornography that benefits animals.' It appears that PETA is ready to move beyond just "barely naked celebrities" and instead go for the full monty.

Nearly 800 dogs were rescued by a Chinese animal protection group last Saturday night in the city of Zigong, in southwest Sichuan province.

After a standoff and negotiation, the group agreed to pay the dog trader 83,000 yuan ($13,000) to secure the caged dog's freedom, said Qiming president Qiao Wei.

“Turkeys may not be as familiar to us as dogs or cats, but they have the same ability to suffer; they are sensitive, curious creatures, and it doesn't make sense to call dogs our friends and turkeys our food,” Ashley Byrne, PETA’s manager of campaigns, told TODAY.com. “There are a lot of kids out there who don’t want to see such cruelty on the Thanksgiving dinner table.”
