[AnimalsInNeed] Genesis Awards For Animal Issues

 

NEWS OF OTHER LIFE FORMS

The animated feature " Chicken Run " and the TV newsmagazine " Dateline

NBC " are among the winners of the 15th Annual Genesis Awards, honoring

news and entertainment media for their handling of animal issues.

The awards are presented by the non-profit, animal-protection

organization Ark Trust. " Chicken Run " was honored for what the group

called " a creative and empathetic insight into chicken farming from the

chickens' point of view. "

" Dateline NBC " reporter Chris Hansen is being recognized for two

reports -- one on " puppy mills " and one on broadtail fur, which is used

in fur fashions.

Other Genesis Award winners include:

-- The CBS drama " Family Law " for a story about a custody battle for

a chimpanzee, which explored issues involved in keeping primates as

pets.

-- The ABC comedy-talk show, " Politically Incorrect With Bill

Maher, " for an episode in which Maher said that animals' right to live

trumps the right of a terminally ill boy to fulfill his wish to go on a

hunting trip.

-- A Land Rover TV commercial, for a story line in which humans show

compassion for a rain-soaked dog.

-- A & E " Investigative Reports " host Bill Kurtis for a documentary

account of the risks facing buffalo at Yellowstone National Park.

Awards are also being presented to CNN for a report on greyhound

racing, the Outdoor Life Network for a report on the life of circus

elephants, and Nickelodeon for " Nick News With Linda Ellerbee " and the

animated entertainment series, " The Wild Thornberrys. "

The Atlantic Monthly, is also being recognized for its report, " From

the Leash to the Laboratory, " an account about the theft of dogs for

sale to laboratories.

The Genesis Awards will be presented March 19 in Beverly Hills,

Calif.

[Guest guest]

Didn't I see a commercial for Burger King (or McDonalds - I can't

remember which..) featuring the Chicken Run movie as a promotional

thing? Please correct me if I'm wrong but we certainly shouldn't be

applauding a movie showing the " chicken's point of view " when

they're selling out to fast food chains who serve them up!
