Invasion of the Data Snatchers

While you’re putting on your costume and getting ready for trick-or-treaters, imagine creatures spookier than any you will see tonight… new devices and technologies that are tracking your every move!

 A world without privacy? It’scloser than you think.
Data snatchers?? They are NOT science fiction. And they’re closer than you think.
New technologies are making it easier for private companies and the government to learn about everything we do - in our homes, in our cars, in stores, and within our communities. As they collect vast amounts of data about us, things are getting truly spooky!
Isn't it time we regained control over our personal information?

New technologies  make it easier for private corporations and the government to access vast amounts of data about us. And the Internet of computers and phones is turning into the “Internet of Things.” Unless we take action, it can grow into a web of horrors.

How Would You Like To Live In An Airplane Seat?

Image
Millions of pigs live their entire lives inside gestation crates -- tiny cages about the same size as an airplane seat! This means that these pigs don't even have the room to turn around. Pigs are intelligent animals that lead active social lives when allowed. Forcing them into such confined living spaces is inhumane. Several companies such as McDonald's and Costco have announced that they will no longer use gestation crates. This is a step forward, but we need to keep fighting for a crate-free future for all pigs.   The Humane Society of the United States  needs your help - sign on with us and millions of animal lovers worldwide today and say "NO" to gestation crates for pigs.
