• Weakened at Bernie's: PETA Gets the Ponzi Treatment, Too

  She will not be streaking at the inauguration.You probably thought today's inauguration ceremonies would provide a day's relief from the death march of victims of area reprobate Bernard Madoff. Well, sorry. Turns out the Palm Beach financial wizard made special-access inauguration tickets disappear for the People's Ethical Treatment of Animals. Now PETA will be unable to get close to spraypaint an anti-fur message on the president-elect, or streak past the podium mid-speech.

• Cowed by Bernie Madoff, PETA Shenanigans Are Uninspired

  Like we told you earlier, PETA's inauguration day high jinks were hampered by Bernard Madoff, and judging by the photos Deirdra's sending from D.C., the animal rights group had to resort to this old gag.More photos from our correspondent's day in D.C., after the jump.

  Just how irrelevant has PETA become? The one-time-animal-rights-organization-turned-ludicrous-marketing-machine long ago gave up trying to reach people with reasoned arguments about the sanctity of all life or the wastefulness of our meat-happy culture. Instead they've adopted a fairly standard marketing strategy with which to convert confused meaties: 1) Create supposedly offensive advert designed to piss off octogenarian censors and bible-belters, 2) feign outrage when said moral authorities r

• D'Artagnan Fed Public Deceptive Foie Gras Claims, Now Has To Eat Its Words

  Farm Sanctuary National Advertising Division (NAD) of the Council of Better Business Bureaus earlier this week recommended that D'Artagnan Inc. discontinue certain advertising claims regarding its Artisan foie gras -- specifically that "the liver is not diseased, simply enlarged", and that the animals are hand-raised "under the strictest of animal care standards." NAD's inquiry found that the former claim had not been adequately substantiated, and that the latter is not only inconsistent wi

  From Nebraska, to Davie, to the arms of Anthony from Petland.The Humane Society of the United States has filed this class-action lawsuit against Petland, which has several local stores, claiming Petland buys dogs from puppy mills. This actually comes as some good news to my landlord, because now I am totally not going back to Petland to adopt that Weimaraner I saw there yesterday.While I was at the Petland in Davie, I asked super-nice employee Anthony to show me the dog's AKC papers.

Imagine that, except behind the glass window is a fish tank full of water, and inside the tank are about ten lobsters. Pay $2 to play, and if you catch a lobster with the claw hand, a chef will boil the sucker up for your dinner. That's what's happening at the Roya

The prospect is so dazzling...well... it's damned hard to focus on the political point. But if you can pry yourself away from that photo, we'll give it a try.Before we get to that, it behooves me to mention the time and place. This PETA demonstration is scheduled for tomorrow at noon. A nooner, if you will. And it's to be staged at the corner of West Clematis and South Narcissus Avenue

The guys have clicked on the picture and are trying to squint through the curtain. So for the ladies still reading, an appeal: I am amazed at your abilities to walk in high heels, slightly less impressed by your efforts

  ​Two weeks ago, former Atlanta Falcon's superstar Michael Vick appeared on 60 Minutes to give his first interview after his release from jail. For those of you living under rocks and sustaining yourselves on grubs and nightcrawlers, Vick was charged in December 2007 with running an illegal dogfighting operation out of a Virginia property where, in addition to staging bloody fights between dogs, he and his cohorts killed dogs through electrocution, shooting, drowning, and hanging. During the in

• Animal Rights Foundation Asks Broward Schools to Stop Supporting Circuses

  ​I can admit it: I really don't know that much about training circus elephants. And I dare say most Juice readers don't either. But there is still something unsettling about seeing videos in which these magnificent beasts are slapped with sticks, shocked with prods, and left with deep gashes from training hooks. This weekend, at the Hollywood Beach Latin Festival, the Animal Rights Foundation of Florida - a local PETA-like group - will be canvassing the crowd, circulating p

  Mathews: Make em laugh​"We'd love it if the world turned vegan tomorrow," Dan Mathews says breathlessly. Mathews is senior vice president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), the controversial animal rights group founded by Ingrid Newkirk in 1980. When I spoke to Mathews by phone Friday, he had to raise his voice above the honking of New York cabs and the belch of passing trucks. But the background mayhem couldn't faze a guy who thinks nothing of dressing up as the pope to cr

  flickr user: nukeit1​Today, newswires were abuzz with the information that a Washington-based nonprofit group called the Cancer Project, on behalf of two plantiffs in Connecticut, filed a class-action lawsuit against Burger King, McDonald's, and Friendly's.  The lawsuit alleges that chicken sold by the three restaurant chains contains a chemical, PhIP, which causes cancer. PhIP can form during the grilling/barbecueing/flame-broiling process. But what wasn't noted in wire stories (such as
