_________________ Spotlight Humane! A Cruelty-Free Lifestyle Event By Donna Jeffries of "Hollywood Beat" The Hollywood Palladium was the location of the first annual Spotlight Humane &endash; a Cruelty-Free Lifestyle Event. The expo, celebrity fashion show and auction was held for the benefit of The Humane Society of the United States Hollywood Office, a non-profit organization whose signature event is the Genesis Awards. The Genesis Awards is an annual event which honors the news and entertainment media for spotlighting animal-protection issues. The highly successful Spotlight Humane event was a real consciousness raiser. Geared not only towards those already committed to a cruelty-free lifestyle, but also to those interested in learning more, and those who are just simply "cruelty-free-curious". The fun and informative celebration highlighted the growing trend for such a lifestyle. Hosted by Jane Velez Mitchell ('Celebrity Justice'), the show introduced the latest in food, fashion, accessories, cosmetics, home furnishings and pet products. The highlight of the festivities was "Compassion in Fashion" - a spectacular New York style fashion show that provided an exciting climax to L.A. Fashion Week. Top models, including the newest and hottest supermodel Gerren Taylor, hit the catwalk wearing the best of next season's cruelty-free couture from designers Bao Tranchi, Kate O'Connor, Sue Wong and many others. Sexy "leather" dresses, and full-length faux furs dazzled the crowds. The expo contained one of the largest collections of cruelty-free products gathered at one time, with hundreds of free giveaways and samplings from conscientious companies such as Ecco Bella Botanicals, John Paul Mitchell, Naked Juice and Simple Green. Participating restaurants who generously offered samplings of their mouthwatering vegan cuisine were Native Foods, Real Food Daily, and California Vegan. Celebrity auction donors included Kim Basinger, Martin Sheen and Mary Tyler Moore. All in all, the event proved to be an important catalyst in activating public awareness and encouraging positive attitudes that hopefully will ultimately lead to a more humane and compassionate society. Most people are upset at the idea of animal suffering. But without realizing it, we can cause (or help stop) the needless suffering through the products we buy and the foods we eat. For example, almost all of the animals who end up as belts and shoes suffer confinement, crowding, branding, unanesthetized castration, tail-docking, dehorning and cruel treatment during transportation and slaughter. Much of our leather comes from India, where the thriving leather trade is one of the cruelest on the planet. Most animals become so sick and injured by the time they arrive for slaughter that they are beaten and dragged mercilessly and have hot chili peppers and tobacco rubbed into their eyes, and their tail bones painfully twisted and broken in order to make them stand up. Once inside the slaughterhouse their legs are hacked off and they are skinned while still alive. And not only are the animals suffering &endash; tanneries in the U.S. use dangerous substances like formaldehyde, coal-tar derivatives and cyanide &endash; which threaten the environment and human health. The Centers for disease Control and Prevention found that the incidence of leukemia among residents near one tannery in Kentucky was five times the national average.
