My self-appointed job in this blog is to think critically about how our human lives intersect with those of sentient nonhumans, in action and thought. In this game, the object is to pluck live lobsters out of the water with a joystick-controlled crane."

I found a link to them on ANIMAL's blog (ANIMAL is a Portuguese animal rights group.) Here's a group I've never heard of. These scientists are NOT an animal rights group. They do support some animal-based studies (which sucks); HOWEVER, they acknowledge that much animal research is useless.

With more than 2 million members across the globe, PETA is the largest animal advocacy group and comparable in size to the human rights organization, Amnesty International.

This post is inspired by a thought-provoking piece on the Provoked blog (clearly a good name for a blog!) Is a vegan's efforts at advocacy worth more than a vegetarian's or even a meat eater's if they happen to agree on the same issue? Economics, science, literature, film, politics, law, etc.

The animal advocacy group Compassion Over Killing has created a new website to bring attention to the fact that Morningstar Farms continues to use "battery eggs" from caged birds in their products. I'll probably blog about it on my personal site in the near future to help you get the word out. Here is the link. Good stuff.

Here’s hoping his tenure as president is long and fruitful and that the ABA continues with its excellent social media presence, wonderful print publications, and advocacy for birds and birders. In just over a year the ABA Blog has established itself as a daily destination for the birding community. Your eminence? Grand Poobah?
