—The Nonhuman Rights Project failed to move a Bronx-zoo elephant from isolation-caging to a sanctuary, but won a friend to the movement.

4th February 2020 | The Dr. Death of Pets Relicensed Again
—Notorious vet, Dr. Daniel Koller, should have this history framed outside his clinics:
- 1975: Convicted of animal abuse; received 100-day jail sentence.
- 1979: California license revoked for patient mistreatment (mainly cats & dogs).
- 2001: California license revoked, again, for the same.
- 2008: Oregon license suspended.
- 2010: Oregon license revoked.
- 2015: Oregon license reinstated.
—Pets are property, legally speaking, so there's no recourse if a vet harms or kills your pet, aside from suing to recoup his/her purchase price. Many of us with companion animals love them more than our spouses—yet we'll be receiving up to $150-billion for a human's wrongful death vs. $100 for the other? Is a dog's suffering 1.5 billion times less important than a human's? FYI: In a recent poll, 95% of those with K9s in the house, "view their dog as part of their family."
