COMPASSION OVER KILLING WINS ON EGG LABEL

This happened last week, but I missed it: Egg producers across the United States can no longer stamp the "Animal Care Certified" logo on egg cartons, after the deceptive nature of the logo was brought to the attention of the FTC and BBB by Compassion Over Killing. Congrats to them - they worked hard on this. And note that this change, while not a huge step in reducing animal suffering, is one that was brought about by convincing authorities to enforce existing laws, not by targeting the neighbors and relatives of the egg producers themselves.

UPDATE 10/11: ... or by hitting them in the face with a pie. Come on, people.
