A Brief Blog Profile: Animal Law Coalition
by Thomas Hynes
Animal Law Coalition is a relatively new blog. But, their mission is one that people have been behind for a long time. In their own words, their goal is to "stop animal cruelty and suffering through legislation, administrative agency action, and litigation." They also offer legal analysis of the more complicated issues and encourage their readers to get involved and active in their own communities in order to stop the scourge of cruelty and poor treatment.
On Animal Law Coalition, you can read about bills currently under consideration in state houses across the country. For instance, there's the Paulin Bill in New York. This bill would increase pet dealer standards and greatly improve the quality and condition of animals in the state. In Ohio, there is a bill being considered around 'high volume breeders.' And in Miami, voters are deciding on whether or not to ban pit bulls outright. At the risk of editorializing, here's hoping they don't.
To be honest, there are also some pretty gruesome images on this blog. Interested readers can find those on their own as they won't be linked to from here. In a way, I suppose it's important to know such cruelty exists. Thankfully, there are blogs like this one showing concerned readers how to make things better.

News Widget
Our widget allows you to display PR Newswire content on your site with very little back-end programming required. You not only get the headline, but also the body of text of the news release, keeping the user on your site at all times. In order to do so, the difference between our Widget and other widgets is at the end of the sign-up process, you will be provided with two pieces of source code -- one for the page where the Widget itself will be displayed and one for the pages that will display the body of text of each news release. In addition, the sign-up process allows you to have 100 percent control over every aspect of the Widget's appearance, so that the Widget can blend in fully with the look and feel of your site. Still not convinced? Here's what one blogger had to say about the widget.
