I mentioned this in an earlier post, but it’s really worthy of its own. At Halo, we’re very proud to have a co-owner who does so much for animals. Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are the recipients of the Wyler Award, given to a celebrity or public figure who has made news on behalf of animals. According to Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States, “They had a particularly significant role in helping to pass Proposition 2, and they helped make the case to the people of California and to the rest of the nation that all animals deserve humane treatment, including animals raised for food.”

Congratulations, Ellen and Portia — you deserve it!

OK, so we have to brag a little bit. Yes, you’ll see a pretty famous celebrity associated with Halo being celebrated at the prestigious Humane Society of the United States gala Genesis Awards.

But I’m happy to say our very own lead blogger, Diane Herbst, was nominated for her powerful People Magazine story exposing Amish puppy mills.

Take a look at all the nominees (and yes, the Ellen Show is nominated as well). Let’s root for Diane and Ellen to win – but most of all, let’s celebrate all those who have chosen to become the animals’ voices.

We’ve put a whole new twist on the soup wars. We created two un-identified ingredients lists.

Label #1: 
The ingredients of Halo Spot’s Stew. 

Label #2: 
The ingredients of a leading national brand of (human) chicken soup.

Then we took our twisted ingredient challenge to the streets of LA. We showed random soup lovers both lists of ingredients and asked them to pick which they’d want to feed to their family.

Which do you think they chose?

See the Ingredients Challenge video to find out!
