Across the border: An animal rights group is accusing an Iowa company of grinding up live male chicks. A warning: the video you're about to see may be unsettling to some of our viewers. Undercover video released Tuesday by Mercy for Animals shows live male chicks being fed into a grinder at a hatchery in Spencer, Iowa. The owners of the hatchery Hy - Line International say that the video appears to show an inappropriate action and violation of our animal welfare policies. But a company spokesperson would not specify exactly what the violations are. The company says they are investigating the situation and will discipline employees if any violations are found. We'll have much more on this story tonight at six.

Canisius adds animal behavior major
Monday, August 3, 2009,
Canisius College will offer a degree in animal behavior, ecology and conservation starting this fall.
The program will be based on lectures and hands-on learning experiences in required and elective courses. It will be directed by biology professor Michael Noonan.
Students will learn about the science of animal behavior, with an understanding in the "ethical and moral considerations" of animal behavior disciplines, the college says.
"It is for students who want to thoroughly understand the facts and theoretical underpinning of animal behavior and who also want to use that understanding to promote animal welfare and wildlife conservation," Noon said in a statement.
The program is part of the college's Institute for the Study of Human-Animal Relationships, one of three institutes established by Canisius officials in the past 12 months.
