Commentary

Sports & Entertainment
Always fun: torturing and killing animals for the sheer pleasure of it. Circuses, dog racing, sport hunting and the like. Some of this coverage is favorable but most of it is geared toward the spectator.
Victories
Media coverage wouldn't be complete without its reports on how actions ARE being changed for the improved welfare of animals. The lineup is both impressive and inspirational.
