BREAKING NEWS From PETA.org

Just as PETA was scheduled to testify against the Hawthorn Corporation and its president, John Cuneo, in a federal administrative court, Cuneo admitted guilt in 19 violations of the federal Animal Welfare Act. Cuneo has been ordered to relinquish custody of 16 elephants to USDA-approved facilities—including the elephant Lota, for whom we have long fought—and pay a $200,000 fine.
