Rat, Cat, and Dog Stand United Against Anti-Animal Group HSAAI
Filed under: Animal Intelligence, Animals For Animal Equality, Homo Sapiens Against Animal Intelligence
In a moving demonstration, three members of the group Animals For Animal Equality (A.F.A.E.), protest together on a public street against the radical group Homo Sapiens Against Animal Intelligence (HSAAI). The A.F.A.E. members are a rat, a cat, and a dog. They stand on top of each other to symbolize their support for one another in the face of an organization that wants to see them remain utterly subservient to human will.
A spokes-animal for A.F.A.E. said the three animals decided to protest because of recent comments from HSAAI criticizing the acceptance of animal art in an international exhibit. Read A.F.A.E.’s official response to said comments here.
When asked about his thoughts on HSAAI, the dog simply responded “Grrrrrrr.” The cat said, “Hisssss”. Need they say more?

Animals For Animal Equality Slams HSAAI On Recent Comments

The group Animals For Animal Equality released a statement today in response to recent comments made by Homo Sapiens Against Animal Intelligence regarding the artistic capabilities of a horse named Cholla. (read here)
“To suggest animals cannot be artistic is emblematic of HSAAI’s continued ignorance on the subject of animal rights. We’ve got news for Jerry Bombadil and all his cronies: animals are greater artists than us, the human animal. It’s an indisputable fact. Look, for instance, at the intricate webs of spiders. Or listen to the beautiful music of birds. Just because Jerry Bombadil doesn’t possess a single talent or skill doesn’t mean he can piss on those of others. Animals are artists too, and Animals For Animal Equality are proud to support their endeavors. That’s why we are investing in an artistic community for animals. Humans, dogs, elephants, birds, horses, you’re all invited. We will release more information on the project soon.”
HSAAI has not issued a rebuttal, but knowing the organization, we should expect one soon.

Acceptance Of Animal Art Infuriates Activist Group HSAAI
Filed under: Animal Intelligence, Animals For Animal Equality, Homo Sapiens Against Animal Intelligence, Human Intelligence
The 3rd International Art Prize Arte Laguna held in Mogliano Veneto, Italy has accepted paintings by the animal artist Cholla the horse. Cholla paints of his own volition on a portable canvas. His work is hailed as expressive, beautiful, and intelligent. Cholla’s passion for painting, and the subsequent acceptance of his paintings in the artistic community has sparked the old debate over whether art produced by animals is truly art, or simply novelty.
Jerry Bombadil, spokesman for HSAAI (Homo Sapiens Against Animal Intelligence), is angered by the recent acceptance of Cholla’s art into an international exhibit dominated by human art. Bombadil in a recent statement: “This is a very slippery slope. The more we encourage animals to act and behave like us, and worse yet, the more we accept this behavior, the more we blur the line between us and them. What’s next? A Chihuahua Mozart? We don’t want to empower animals anymore than we already have. At some point, they’re gonna get wise and try and take a bigger slice of the pie, and they’ll take it by force, mark my words.”
Bombadil’s ominous words and extreme stance on the issue come as no surprise, considering his organization’s history.

Bomb Sniffing Rats Used to Locate Land mines.
The amazing little heroes are trained by a group of Belgian and Tanzanian researchers using the Pavlovian method, i.e. if the rats scratch at the ground where there is TNT, they get a treat. They’re so light that even if they tread over a mine they won’t detonate it.
It’s no news that land mines are a major global problem. But these rats, known as HeroRATS, are helping out, one bomb at a time. For more information on the HeroRATS, click here. Stay tuned to The Loki Times as we continue our coverage on intelligent animals.
