10,000 Birds
MARCH 28, 2014
After scrolling through piles of furious emails regarding a recent blog about Rip Van Winkle’s Crow Killing Contest , it seemed to me that all of us needed Dr. Phil. The subject was not hunting; it was contest killing. You can see the comments from both sides by scrolling down after the blog’s conclusion.

Well, she apparently did such a great job convincing the folks at the Minnesota Book Awards that you can claim to love animals and then send them to slaughter, that not only was she a finalist for their award, but she won it. In her blog yesterday she wrote of her experience accepting the award, and who she thanked and didn't thank.

But no one who has ever cared for another creature – be it bird, animal, or human – can comprehend, much less cope with, this kind of brutal, pointless killing. What about the people around the world who are mesmerized by nesting birds, thanks to blogs and nest cams? People do not work with wildlife for fame and fortune.

Twice in the past 24 hours (once here and once on Stephanie's blog, in the comments )I have come across the following statement: "[insert animal here] are safe from predators, get fed regularly, and are better off on farms than if they were in 'the wild.'" They are created to be slaughtered. The choice isn't the wild or the farm.

Its goal was to limit the greedy collecting of birds killed for the plume trade, the bird meat trade (as in the wholesale slaughter of the Passenger Pigeon), and for sport (again, the Passenger Pigeon and declining numbers of waterfowl). This is not a negative criticism, it is a reflection of the audience for this blog.

I've been having a difficult time blogging both here and at Animal Rights & AntiOppression lately because I feel like my thoughts are like " Groundhog Day." When I think about the language that has been used by people who kill animals or have someone else do it for them, a couple of years ago the "compassionate" trend began.
