After lobbying the University of Georgia to replace its lovable bulldog mascot with a robo-dog, PETA has now set its sights on loftier, more high-profile mammals -- namely, one Punxsutawney Phil. The prognosticating Pennsylvania groundhog, who puts the entire nation on pins and needles in anticipation of his annual unscientific weather forecast, may soon be replaced by a robotic rendition of ...

If Terrence O'Brien hadn't tipped us to this disturbing little number a few days ago (not for those with weak stomachs), we wouldn't hesitate to lambaste Simon Buckhaven and his "humane," lobster-stunning device. Well, we've hesitated. Let the lambasting begin. In that grand old, absurdist tradition of animal rights crazies activists, the British entrepreneur sat down with Canada's Chronicle ...

After that notorious homemade video, it's hard to call any other video featuring Pamela Anderson "racy."

PETA has long been known for its over-dramatic publicity stunts. It's not that we always disagree with PETA's goals, it's just that their methods make us so uncomfortable we start to think that maybe Ted Nugent isn't such a bad guy after all. ...

Pet owners know that keeping their critters clean can be a real drag. While some dogs love water, even they seem to hate bath time, and trying to bathe a cat ... well ... let's just say that's a really bad idea.
