The Truth About Cats on All Hallows' Eve - and Every Other Eve

Halloween is a dangerous day for cats, but then, so is every

other day of the year. Animal shelters urge folks to keep their cats indoors

on Halloween and some even refuse to adopt out black cats in the days

preceding it, for fear that cruel people will acquire them with the intent

to do them harm. But many animal advocates go a step further and urge people

NEVER to let their cats outside unattended.

 

Extend the HPV Moratorium: Your Calls and Letters Needed

In late 1999, after a six-month grassroots campaign by PETA, the

White House and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reached an

agreement that meant that historic, albeit minimal, animal protection

concerns would become part of the U.S. government's massive " high production

volume " (HPV) chemical-testing program. The EPA has failed to do what it

promised, and now the moratorium is ending!

 

Please get everyone you know who cares about animals to write or

call EPA Administrator Christine T. Whitman and demand that the HPV chemical

moratorium be extended until the EPA does what it promised!
