Welcome New Board Member: Maria BottI was so excited the day I joined the RoyalSociety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani-mals. I was only eight years old! Abuse andneglect of animals wasnt tolerated in the Eng-lish village where I was raised. Unfortunatelythe kind of people who enjoyed fox huntingand hare coursing did not live in our village.

In 1986 I moved to the US and experienced some dramaticcultural differences. I had never heard of greens beingcooked with bacon fat or of peas floating in butter. It amazesme that with the research and medical facts available today,households and restaurants in America are still cooking thatway.

Today I am a Life Coach and Fitness Specialist practicing inTampa. I still firmly believe that the vegan way is the onlyway to glowing health, a sustainable environment, and a

peaceful world. Florida Voices for Animals renews my hopeand faith that someday humanity as a whole will evolve. Ienvision a time when cruelty, neglect, and the abuse of anyform of life, will be unacceptable everywhere on the planet.

Sixty Percent of Adults Can't Digest Milk ProperlyExcerpt from USA Today:Got milk? If you do, take a moment to

ponder the true oddness of being able todrink milk after you're a baby.

No other species but humans do, and most humans can't ei-

ther. ... First off, most people who have bad reactions tomilk aren't actually allergic to it, in that it's not their immunesystem that's responding to the milk. We're Not Meant toConsume It. Cow Milk is for Baby Cows.

Instead, people who are lactose intolerant can't digest themain sugar, lactose, found in milk. In normal humans, theenzyme that does so, lactase, stops being produced when the

person is between two and five years old. The undigestedsugars end up in the colon, where they begin to ferment, pro-ducing gas that can cause cramping, bloating, nausea, flatu-lence and diarrhea.

Being able to digest milk is so strange that scientists say weshouldn't really call lactose intolerance a disease, becausethat presumes it's abnormal. Instead, they call it lactase per-sistence, indicating what's really weird is the ability to con-tinue to drink milk.

Animal Legislation

Please visit the Humane Society web-site at www.hsus.org/legislation_lawsfor more information on these andother current legislation.

The 111th Congress is now in session, and we're at an un-precedented point in history regarding animal protection leg-islation. HSUS is looking forward to working with the newAdministration and the 111th Congress. Here's a look atsome issues they will be focusing on this year. Be sure tomake your voice heard in support of these bills.

Senator Bill Nelson: 202-224-5274 or District 407-872-7161Senator Mel Martinez: 202-224-3041 or Toll Free: 866-630-7106 Visithttps://community.hsus.org/humane/leg-lookup/search.htmlto find your Representative or to emailour Senators.

Horse Slaughter (H.R. 503/S.727)

The Conyers-Burton Prevention of Equine Cruelty Actwould finally end the suffering endured by more than100,000 horses each year who are hauled across the countryand into Mexico and Canada, to be cruelly slaughtered forhuman consumption in foreign markets. Tell your legislatorsto support this legislation to stop horse slaughter.

Puppy Mills

Puppy mills are cruel, factory-style breeding businesses thatproduce puppies in large numbers and sell them to unsus-

pecting consumers. We need Congress to crack down onthese mass dog-breeding facilities and require businessesthat sell puppies online and in pet stores to meet welfarestandards.

Fur Labeling (H.R. 2480/S. 1076)

The Truth in Fur Labeling Act would protect consumers bybringing much-needed accuracy and full disclosure to furlabeling laws. Recent tests by The HSUS showed that ani-mal fur is frequently unlabeled, mislabeled or marked asfaux. We hope the 111th Congress will pass legislation torequire truth-in-labeling for all fur products so that consum-ers can make informed choices.

Antibiotic Resistance (H.R. 1549/S. 619)

The Preservation of Antibiotics for Medical Treatment Actwould phase out the routine non-therapeutic use of antibiot-ics in farm animals -- a common practice to promote growthand compensate for overcrowded, stressful, unsanitary con-ditions on factory farms -- in order to maintain the effective-ness of antibiotics for treating sick people and animals.

Ape Protection (H.R. 1326)

Approximately 1,200 chimpanzees are languishing in labo-ratories across the United States. We need Congress to phaseout the use of chimpanzees in invasive research and retirethe estimated 500 federally-owned chimpanzees to perma-nent sanctuary. Tell your legislators to support this legisla-tion to help chimpanzees.

Downed Animals

To require humane euthanasia and condemnation oflivestock too sick or injured to walk at slaughter plants,auctions, and other facilities, and to prohibit USDAcertification of meat from those animals for humanconsumption.

=============================Getting Real About the High Price of Cheap Food

Excerpt from TIME Magazine:Somewhere in Iowa, a pig is being raised in a confined pen,

packed in so tightly with other swine that their curly tailshave been chopped off so they won't bite one another. To

prevent him from getting sick in such close quarters, he isdosed with antibiotics. The waste produced by the pig andhis thousands of pen mates on the factory farm where theylive goes into manure lagoons that blanket neighboring com-munities with air pollution and a stomach churning stench.He's fed on American corn that was grown with the help of

government subsidies and millions of tons of chemical fertil-izer. When the pig is slaughtered, at about 5 months of age,he'll become sausage or bacon that will sell cheap, feedingan American addiction to meat that has contributed to anobesity epidemic currently afflicting more than 2/3 of the

population. And when the rains come, the excess fertilizerthat coaxed so much corn from the ground will be washedinto the Mississippi River and down into the Gulf of Mex-ico, where it will help kill fish for miles and miles around.That's the state of your bacon circa 2009.

Help Nudge Dunkin' Donuts Towards Com-

passionWe're happy to support Compassion Over Killing's (COK)Dunkin' Cruelty Campaign, to urge Dunkin' Donuts to offervegan menu items.

Please tell the company you want it to stop using eggs anddairy in its donuts and offer vegan menu items to meet thegrowing demand for more healthful and humane foods.

Featured MemberAmber Simpson is a Florida native

born and raised in Lakeland andnow resides in Plant City with her

boyfriend of 3 years Loukas Kam-elaris, 6 rescued cats, and a fish.

Coming from a southern family where fried chicken andvegetables soaked in animal fat as a staple of every meal,she is the only vegan in the bunch, making for little supportof her compassionate lifestyle. This made it extremely hardwhen she started transitioning into a vegetarian lifestyle atage 16. "I don't eat things that I want to pet" is what she told

people when they questioned her flesh-free plate.

In 2008 with the help of Nikki Benoit, Jodi Chemes, andFVA, Amber and Loukas became more educated on animalissues and decided to become vegan and get active for theanimals. Amber states "Leafleting, tabling, protests, orwhatever... I love it all! If I'm available, rain or shine, I'll be

there until the end."

One of her favorite ways to spread the word of "peace, love,and compassion for all beings" is through her love of vegan

baking and cooking. She even started a monthly Vegan Pot-luck in Tampa to help teach others how to make compas-sionate choices. "Coming from a southern family, I wastaught that the fastest way to a persons heart is through

their stomach."

Since childhood, Amber could always be found watchingand caring for stray cats. "There's something about all fe-lines that has always fascinated me." This love for felineshas followed her into adulthood where she has dedicatedmost of her time to the TNR Program for feral cats. Her ef-forts have paid off with the sterilization of over 300 cats in

the past 7 months. She is also a member of St. Francis Soci-ety Animal Rescue where she volunteers with fostering, bot-tle feeding orphan kittens, transporting animals, and fund-raisers.

"For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction, so

choose your actions wisely. Even the smallest changes can

yield big results. If not you, then who? If not now, then

when?"

Huge Animal Hospital Network Bans Cos-

metic Tail Docking, Ear Cropping, De-barkingThis August; Banfield, the nation's largest veterinary prac-tice with 730 hospitals and 2,000veterinarians, including many inPetSmart stores, announced itwill stop performing cosmetic taildocking, ear cropping, or devocali-zation (de-barking) of dogs. Weapplaud Banfield's humane move,tempered only by the question

"what took you so long?"

Breed-Specific Legislation DefeatedBecause of efforts to oppose breed-specific legislation inFlorida, two bills that would have lifted the current ban on

breed-specific legislation for local governments (House Bill189 and Senate Bill 922) died in committee. Targeting cer-tain breeds simply does not work. Studies have shown thatit is not certain breeds that are dangerous, but unfavorablesituations that create dangerous dogs

..

I have no doubt that it is a part of the destiny of the human race,

in its gradual improvement, to leave off eating animals, as surely

as the savage tribes have left off eating each other.
