Help Pigs in Florida!

Florida voters have an opportunity to promote legislation that will prevent cruelty to pigs used to produce meat. If we're going to eat them, we should treat them with some dignity and respect.

Kalahari Raptor Center
Fri 2 Mar 2001 - 08:45

One of our members helps maintain the web page for the Kalahari Raptor Center, which is how I found out about this sanctuary. There are plenty of splendid photographs of the birds of prey and small mammals that make their home at the Center, so even if it's unlikely you'll visit anytime soon, you can still check out the animals.

Chronicles of the Cheysuli Omnibus
Thu 1 Mar 2001 - 11:06

This just off Jennifer Roberson's webpage: the eight books of the Cheysuli series will be available soon in four omnibus editions. Good news for those of us tired of loose books. For those who haven't read them, the Cheysuli books are about a magical shapechanging race whose members can become animals by bonding with a special animal companion. I did a review of the first book in the series for Fuzzy Logic a while back.

Fri 23 Feb 2001 - 10:27

There seems to be a pretty big cross-over between Elfquest and furry fans, so I picked this one up off SF Wire: the Elfquest animated movie is slowly making headway. Check out the link for details.
