Guest guest Posted April 18, 2002 Report Share Posted April 18, 2002 Hi Syndee and everyone, I always appreciate it when people post announcements of shows like this! I will try to watch it (not sure if I'll be able to watch it live since this evening is also the organizing meeting for the Safeway/Shameway campaign). Speaking of TV shows - on a current episode of a TV drama show, Law & Order, the NY district attorney prosecuted a restaurant franchise for knowingly serving contaminated (e.coli) cow flesh. The terminology was rather odd, since they kept referring to violations of " animal rights laws " . I'd always heard various pieces of law regarding animals referenced as " Humane Slaughter " or the " Animal Welfare Act " , etc. Interestingly, they associated an individual investigating the slaughterhouse with NY PIRG (Public Interest Research Group) instead of an AR group. Overall, I thought the treatment of the issue was pretty good. Much better than when they tried to present some ALF-type people being prosecuted for liberating some monkeys from a research lab....
