DawnWatch - Daily Animal World News Watch

DawnWatch encourages the media to cover animal issues well, so that people can make informed choices. The media is incomparably powerful and influential.

DawnWatch is the only entirely animal advocacy organization entirely focused on influencing mainstream media, where our mission is to encourage and facilitate positive coverage of animal issues. The good news for those of us who wish to help animals is that it is surprisingly easy to influence. DawnWatch works on that in various ways: DawnWatch media alerts, DawnWatch op-eds and columns, the DawnW

atch Turkey Rescue, and the upcoming DawnWatch Media Awards Gala. I have been posting animal related media on Facebook at http://Facebook.com/theKarenDawn (which has exponentially more followers than this page) for almost a decade but am starting from scratch, here, now that DawnWatch has finally become a nonprofit! I hope you will Like, Follow, and Share this page and help support DawnWatch. Thank you!

We've seen a welcome focus on animal issues in politics over the last week – from Nicholas Kristof's column on the SOB Act, to the Wall Street Journal's coverage of Spencer Pratt's animal passions, to the push for a federal law that would require an animal abuser registry, and USA Today coverage of the debate over a Texas Senate candidate's veganism. Meanwhile Happy the Elephant's legacy is examined in the New York Times, while Time Magazine turns its attention to the oceans. We mourn Maureen Duffy while we celebrate New York Times coverage of a push for homeless shelters allowing pets, Wayne Hsiung's mainstream media piece on his stand for beagles, a proposed Los Angeles rodeo ban, a Canadian front page on organoid chips that will save animals from testing, and the beautiful new Netflix movie "Remarkably Bright Creatures."

Hippo culls in Colombia and calf cruelty on a "humane certified" farm in the US. The news is horrific but the media spotlight is heartening.

Co-chair of the Congressional Animal Protection Act, Sharice Davids (D-Kan) voted FOR the current FARM despite the SOB Act. We have got to start holding legislators responsible when they sell out animals!
Thanks to the Humane World Action Fund for making sure Kansas animal lovers saw this betrayal.

As the Farm Bill rewards Big Ag animal cruelty, and Big Pharma tortures beagles, Breaking Points interviews Glenn Greenwald, bringing us fantastic nonpartisan coverage of the issues.
