Wanting to have some fun, he created PEOPLE EATING TASTY ANIMALS, a book of recipeshe intends to poke fun at such groups and generate lauther.

Arlen provides real-sounding, intricate recipes for such dishes as Cheetah Chimichanga, Barbecued Beaver and Cat Tacos. He suggests people savemoney by eating the meat of their 50-pound poodle when it dies, and he points out that a beached whale could be an economical meal choicethat could simply supple enough meat for an entire family reunion. Filled with color illustrations, the book is designedto be placed on the coffee table, opened at any page and shared with friends.

PETA calls on Kentucky not to allow elephant rides

Associated Press

PETA is urging the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources not to repeal a ban on elephant rides at circuses and fairs.

The animal rights group said in a letter to Kentucky officials that elephants are dangerous animals and that putting children on their backs "is like placing them on a ticking time bomb."

Elephant rides were banned in Louisville following a 1994 incident in which a man visiting the Louisville Zoo was picked up and dropped several times by an elephant.

A push to lift Kentucky's restrictions has led to strong opposition from animal advocates.

The Humane Society of the United States also has called on state wildlife officials not to lift the ban.
