Take action! In this alert are a few ways
to assist animals. If you're in California, help wildlife by supporting
some legislation.
Everyone can buy beautiful jewelry and
help Animal Place residents, or make a delicious vegan chocolate cake
to share with friends, coworkers, or family (vegan food IS good!)

| Californians, your help is needed! |
|
| Contact the Governor!
Two complementary bills are pending at the California
Capitol. Both affect wildlife.
The Bills
AB 1477: Would require that wildlife control
operators notify customers of non-lethal methods and that lethal
methods will be used, if necessary, to kill the animal. Non-target
animals (dogs and cats, eg) must be released and, if injured, receive
treatment. Wildlife operators would be required to receive continuing
education.
AB 449: If animals are to be killed, would
require that animals captured be killed using only methods approved by
the American Veterinary Medical Association panel on euthanasia.
Why the bills are needed:
Wildlife control operators fly under the radar - there are no
statistics on how the animals are killed or the number. And. operators
are not required to pursue further training. Furthermore, there is no
law regarding how trapped animals may be killed. Cases exist in which
animals have been injected with acetone, hung or drowned.
What you can do
Contact the Governor TODAY and urge him to sign AB 1477 and
AB 449 into law!

| Dreena's Vegan Triple Layer Chocolate Cak |
|
| Sinful chocolate never tasted so good!
Cake Batter:
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 cups unrefined sugar
1/4 tsp. sea salt
1 3/4 cups water
2 Tbsp. rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 tsp. mocha extract (or more vanilla)
1/4 cup canola oil
Frosting:
2 pckgs (349-g) SILKEN extra-firm tofu, patted dry
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups (generous) non-dairy chocolate chips
For the cake:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, sift together flour,
cocoa powder, and baking soda, then add in sugar and salt and mix well.
In another bowl, combine water, vinegar, extracts, and oil. Add wet
mixture to the dry, and stir until well combined. Pour into 3 lightly
oiled round cake pans, distributing batter as evenly as possible. Bake
for 17-29 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of each
comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool on a cooling rack.
For the frosting:
In a food processor, combine tofu with maple syrup and vanilla, and
puree until very smooth, scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
Meanwhile, melt chocolate in a bowl fitted over a pot with simmering
(not boiling) water. Pour melted chocolate into food processor with
tofu mixture, and puree again until well incorporated (again, scraping
down sides of bowl). Transfer to a container and refrigerate until cool
(will thicken as it cools). Once cool, spread frosting on cake layers,
then refrigerate cake for at least a couple of hours to set (preferably
overnight).
