Angler Stephen Perkins, 52, got more than he bargained for when he hauled the fish on board his boat "Serenity" off Lundy Island, Devon. As he was preparing to unhook the fish, she sank her teeth into his wrist leaving him needing re-constructive surgery. She has earned him an unlikely place in history as the first documented case of a man being bitten by a Blue Shark off British waters.
New animal protection legislation which specifies in great detail how animals are to be treated has come into force in Switzerland. Under the new law live goldfish cannot be flushed - they must be knocked out and then killed first. The law also bans catch-and-release fishing and live fish bait. Many types of animal kept in captivity in zoos, circuses, and as domestic companion animals now need to be kept with at least one companion of their own species.
... the basis of my vegetarianism is not physical, but moral. If anybody said that I should die if I did not take beef-tea or mutton, even under medical advice, I would prefer death. That is the basis of my vegetarianism. I would love to think that all of us who called ourselves vegetarians should have that basis. There were thousands of meat-eaters who did not stay meat-eaters. There must be a definite reason for our making that change in our lives, for our adopting habits and customs different from society, even though sometimes that change may offend those nearest and dearest to us. Not for the world should you sacrifice a moral principle. Therefore the only basis for having a vegetarian society and proclaiming a vegetarian principle is, and must be, a moral one.

Eternal Treblinka by Charles Patterson
"In Eternal Treblinka we are presented for the first time with extensive evidence of the profoundly troubling connections between animal exploitation in the United States and Hitler's Final Solution." - from the Foreword by Lucy Rosen Kaplan, Esq.
"Charles Patterson's book will go a long way towards righting the terrible wrongs that human beings, throughout history, have perpetrated on non-human animals. I urge you to read it and think deeply about its important message." - Dr. Jane Goodall
