Sounds like a really interesting read.

Quoted: Frans de Waal, director of the Living Links Center at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center in Atlanta, believes that it's just as natural to be nice as it is be mean.

Quoted: Ripping the legs off live crabs and crowding lobsters into seafood market tanks are just two of the many practices that may warrant reassessment, given two new studies that indicate crustaceans feel pain and stress.

I didn't realize the Red Cross had an "Animal Lifesaver Award." Maybe Willie got some birdseed?
