Well, the year is almost over, so I thought I would make a thread to highlight some of the victories on the AR/AW front that have been won in 2007. I would like to think that some of you have been exposed to some arguments for AR from myself that perhaps you had never come across before and at least made you think about a few points I have made. And hopefully you could see the reasoning behind them. If not, then that is fine, too.

But, I am pretty sure most of you do not visit AR/AW sites, so that news of their victories here and there that I have posted, has at least made you a little more aware of their presence on the activist and legal scene in the world.

Oh, well, here is a video highlighting some of the victories this year (2007) that were won by The Humane Society of the United States, the largest Animal Welfare org in the world. I found it rather moving. Take a look:

Another example of more tax money in the form of our politicians spending their time and recourses doing some work for animals, and getting more and more laws and protections put up for them in 2007.

Previously when chimps went to a sanctuary after having been tested on, they could be called back out of the sanctuary and submitted to more animal testing for other things. Not anymore. Once testing on a particular thing is done and the chimp is off to the sanctuary, they are no longer permitted to be yanked out again for another round of testing.

Burr obtains law to protect chimps (http://www.newsobserver.com/politics/story/853448.html)

The chimp bill is now law.
President Bush signed into law last week [December 26] the Chimp Haven is Home Act of 2007, an effort pushed by U.S. Sen. Richard Burr (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Burr) to keep certain chimpanzees out of the hands of scientists at the National Institutes of Health.

"This law ensures retired chimps will not be called back for additional medical research," said Burr, a Winston-Salem Republican. "These chimps have helped further medical knowledge and deserve permanent retirement."
