Non-French vegans now targeted by authorities?
April 03, 2009
On March 31, 2009, the members of the European Parliament's Agriculture Committee voted on a series of amendments to the European Commission's proposals to regulate animal testing across Europe... With billion-dollar corporations to support (all those suppliers and users of the vivisection industry, the pharmaceutical industry, and the medical corps that depends on both), the MEPs decided to keep the lid on this lucrative fraud, which is now set to continue with even greater freedom and leeway, and with all its disastrous consequences for human health, as well as for its animal victims.

April, 2008, saw the French media have a field day as they reported the case of a baby that died due to, allegedly, malnutrition from being breastfed by its vegan mother. As in a similar 2004/5 case, the parents have been arrested, charged with mistreating their 11-month-old daughter. They are al...

Did you ever dream of retiring to the French Riviera,
or even just spending your vacation time in this mythic place,
famous the world over for its blue Mediterranean coast,
its pre-Alps and skiing,
its year-round (almost) sunshine,
and consumer-culture geared to a high-net-worth clientele?
The City of Nice spreads the red carpet for foreign tourist currency,
but seems equally prepared to bend laws to favor local Bad Boys on the make...
Now under seige by what Graham Greene called
'tightknit local arrangements', or 'systems of corruption',
also referred to as 'the French Mafia',

As we gather together to celebrate the love and joy of Christmas, in a family in Sunnyvale, California, a child is crying... And there is no solution to this child's pain, nothing to make it go away, no explanation that will make sense-- not even for many, many adults, let alone for a child...
