  3. Why it Matters that Ellen Degeneres Eats Eggs

    by
    Filed under: Celebrities Companion Animals Farmed Animals Stupid

    On her TV show today, Ellen Degeneres, who is frequently mentioned as an example of a celebrity vegan, had a conversation with actress Ellen Pompeo about Pompeo’s backyard chickens, exchanging all manner of trivializing light banter. But the real humdinger comes when Ellen mentiones that “we” (presumably Ellen and her wife Portia de Rossi) “have neighbors that have chickens, we get our eggs from those chickens, cause they’re happy, they’re really happy chickens”:

    And maybe those particular chickens are happy. And if they are, good for them. I hope that in addition to being protected from hawks and coyotes as Ellen worries about, they are also well cared for into their old age, just as a family cat or dog would be.

    Maybe these chickens don’t dwell on the fact that their brothers, uncles, nephews, and other male relatives were virtually all killed at birth for being “useless”. Maybe they don’t dwell on the fact that many of their mothers, sisters, aunts, nieces, and other female relatives will die from lack of adequate health care, or due to dangerous housing or transport. Maybe they don’t mind that they were bred, raised, sold, and shipped as a commodity. And maybe they don’t care that humans collect and eat their equivalent to menstrual waste. (I’m just talking about rich peoples’ backyard chickens here; not even getting into the horrors that befall their factory-farmed cousins.)

    OK, what are you supposed to do to help companion animals (a.k.a. pets) after Hurricane Sandy? “>resources out there Occupy Sandy probably being the best bet if you want to just show up and be put to work), and undoubtably many of these help non-humans as well as humans.

    But what if you specifically want to help the animals? Here’s what I know about that seems worth knowing about:

    • The Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals have been maintaining a list of Resources for NYC Pet Owners Impacted by Hurricane Sandy. It’s a big page with a lot on it.

    • Petfinder is doing daily roundup posts … or they were last week, and hopefully will do more this week.

    • The “Hurricane Sandy Lost and Found Pets” Facebook page has well over 21,000 likes and is aggregating a lot of info and flyers (not just for NYC, either). The signal-to-noise ratio is frustrating, but you might see something useful there.

    • There are innumerable smaller shelters and rescue groups that are doing great work post-Sandy. If there’s a group you like near an affected area, reach out to them and see if they need help. They may need heavy labor help, but they may also need clean up help, administrative help, short-term foster homes, donations, etc.

    • Help the Mayor’s Alliance distribute pet food! Here’s the deal:
      We have an urgent need for volunteers to help with a crucial distribution of pet food to victims of Hurricane Sandy in New York City.

      The Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals, working with our partners on the Animal Planning Task Force of the NYC Office of Emergency Management, will begin distributing emergency pet food and cat litter on Monday, November 5, to NYC pet owners and animal rescue organizations impacted by the hurricane.

      Although final details about the distribution sites and times are still being developed, we anticipate the distribution sites will be at locations in areas of greatest need: Staten Island, Coney Island, the Rockaways, and Manhattan’s Lower East Side.

      While not yet confirmed, we hope to begin the distribution on Monday, November 5.

      If you are available for this effort and have access to any of the target locations, please let us know by sending an e-mail to hurricane@AnimalAllianceNYC.org.

      In your e-mail, please provide the following necessary information:

      1) Your name
      2) Your e-mail address
      3) Your phone number(s)
      4) Your days and hours of availability
      5) The location(s) from the list above at which you can be available
      6) If you have a vehicle (and access to fuel) and can transport pet food and litter

      We will get back to you with your assignment as soon as the details are confirmed.

    Hopefully everyone who wants to help can find a way. And remember: if you’re donating stuff (rather than money or labor), always confirm that what you’re donating is meeting a current need. Unwanted donations are disruptive and wasteful. They’re useful only for making an ignorant donor feel good about themselves.

    We hope everyone reading this made it through Sandy unscathed, but we know some of you didn’t, or you know people who didn’t. Companion animals are especially vulnerable in disasters like this.

    If you need help in the NYC metro area, call this Pet Rescue Hotline if you had to LEAVE YOUR PET BEHIND or LOST YOUR PET due to Hurricane Sandy. Does your pet need rescue? Or are you stranded w/out pet food?

    Call: (347) 573-1561

    This hotline is a partnership between several great groups, the ASPCA, HSUS, The Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals, NYC Animal Care & Control, and NYC Veterinary Emergency Response Team.
