* Alderman Moore Garners Farm Sanctuary Award

NEW YORK, May 3 /U.S. Newswire/ -- On May 20, 2006, Farm Sanctuary will join celebrity hosts in New York City when the nation's leading farm animal shelter and advocacy organization celebrates its 20th anniversary at the 2006 Gala for Farm Animals called "Farm in the City."

The event, co-chaired by long-time animal advocates Daryl Hannah and Heather Mills-McCartney, will bring together celebrity supporters, key legislators and animal advocates in honor of farm animals and those leading the movement to protect farm animals from abuse.

Celebrity hosts will present numerous awards to civic, social and political leaders, who have taken a stand for farm animals. Awards will be presented to actress and activist Alicia Silverstone, U.S. Representative Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), actress and animal advocate Persia White (star of the UPN hit series "Girlfriends"), Candle Cafe and Candle 79 restaurants in New York City, and longtime Farm Sanctuary supporters John Archibald and James Costa.

In addition, Chicago Alderman Joe Moore will be honored for his leadership in securing an historic victory for farm animals with last week's landslide vote to end the sale of foie gras within the city.

So who foots the air and hotel bills for Joey's self-aggrandizing boondoggle to NYC? God, I hope PETA's paying and not us hoodwinked taxpayers.

Joey like a peacock. One well imagines him primping and preening and puffing his chest out at getting to hang out with all the celebs. That's our special boy! Unfortunately it likely means he'll be hitting them up for campaign contributions to keep their goose loving champion in office so he can continue to do good works on their behalf. Stock up on veal now while you have the chance. . .

We should blitz these naive celebrities with every detail about every shady and disgusting action our Aldercrook has done over the past 15 years. Pile it on so thick that there is no space in their mailboxes for a phone bill. Perhaps then, and only then, will these people realize that to truly know Joe Moore is to loath him.
