Cruelty and care: hope for our contradictory relationship with animals
Christine Coughlin Minnesota State Director, The Humane Society of the United States
The majority of Americans have pets and we spend more money than ever on our companion animals. Our appreciation for wildlife is surging, and our concern for the welfare of animals raised for food is higher than ever. At the same time, there are inherent cruelties in the ways we relate to millions of animals- in puppy mills, factory farms, and in the wild.
Hope is abundant, as we are experiencing a revolution in the way we view and treat animals, thanks to expanding awareness among consumers, legislators, voters, and business.
Join us to hear about the Humane Society of the United States’ campaigns and work in Minnesota and how you can help build a truly humane society here at home.
Christine Coughlin is the Minnesota State Director for The Humane Society of the United States.
Born and raised in Minnesota, she has been active in the field of animal protection since 2002, with a focus on grassroots legislative campaigns and electoral advocacy. Christine has served on animal welfare policy task forces for the City of Minneapolis, initiated the biannual publication of MN’s Humane Scorecard, and founded Minnesota Voters for Animal Protection, serving as executive director until 2015, when she joined The Humane Society of the United States.
She is the recipient of the 2017 Kenny Feldman Animal Advocate Award.
New White House “rules” for press conferences?
November 29th, 2018
In Variety:
It’s appropriate that this be in Variety, as this is an un-reality White House show.
And the rules?
Please be advised of the following rules governing future press conferences:
(1) A journalist called upon to ask a question will ask a single question and then will yield the floor to other journalists;
(2) At the discretion of the President or other White House official taking questions, a follow-up question or questions may be permitted; and where a follow up has been allowed and asked, the questioner will then yield the floor;
(3) “Yielding the floor” includes, when applicable, surrendering the microphone to White House staff for use by the next questioner;
(4) Failure to abide by any of rules (1)-(3) may result in suspension or revocation of the journalist’s hard pass.
On a side note, take a look at the White House site. It used to have clear pages across the top for Press Releases, live broadcasts, and a listing of Executive Orders and Proclamations. Now? It’s gone. It’s available in the upper lefthand corner, the lines which will give you a menu.
