UPDATE from Animal Defenders International

Animal Defenders International is pleased with the careful decision to end the elephant rides at the Fair and congratulates the Orange County Fair Board for their leadership in showing compassion for animals and concern for public safety. The OC Fair Board has aligned itself and the fair with the most progressive practices of humane care and public safety, and sets a positive example to other county fairs in the area which we hope will soon follow their lead.

UPDATE from PCRM

Dear PCRM supporter,

I am very excited to be able to share with you another victory for animals. The University of Washington (UW) informed us this week that it has replaced the use of ferrets with human-based medical simulators to teach future pediatricians.

This change is the result of PCRM's campaign, the support of our members, the hard work of the local advocacy group Seattle Animal Defense League, and the willingness of UW to adopt current best practices.
