On Honoring Living "Things"
It took a while before I really began seeing everything the way he did, but now that is the view and those are the feelings that I carry with me all the time. . . . The big change, of course, was my realizing that I didn't feel any remorse for having to eat animals and plants to live.
. . . This isn't about what we should eat. William Horden's, " The Sacred Space of the Shared Heart " is exactly the type of piece I am talking about when I express frustration over "spiritual" people who kill nonhuman animals or who have them killed for a meal. "My father once explained to me that he felt the profoundest guilt for having to kill other living things in order to survive, so much so that he never took more that he needed and he always apologized to the spirit of the animal or plant for cutting its life short.

On The Respectful Emperor
Of course, what they are talking about and how they are changing their behavior is very frustrating for someone who doesn't believe we should be using animals at all. It wasn't long before The Humane Emperor came on the scene, and is still around, telling folks that with a little mental acrobatics you can include forcible breeding, captivity, separation of family, killing of day-old chicks, and of course, untimely death in the definition of "humane." 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 ."

Humane Society University to Offer Courses in Fall 2009

On "The Botany of Desire"
From John Chapman (Johny Appleseed) not eating animals or using horses in his travels (and the fact that apples originated in the forests of Kazakhstan) to the dotcom-like frenzy over the tulip in Holland to the evolution of cannabis to convincing me to never eat french fries at a restaurant (that's the only potato product I eat when I go out, and of course I inquire about what it is fried in), Pollan does a wonderful job of making the stories of the most ordinary plants sound like exotic adventures. And of course, the entire book is a commentary on what happens when humans decide that

Dogs as Smart as 2-yr-old Kids
The point is to show how much another species is like us, but of course never as good as we are, at whatever the measurement is. And of course, the definition of whatever is being measured--in this case intelligence--is our version of intelligence. When I saw the Live Science article about dogs being as smart as 2-year-old kids I knew that if there were any talk of ranking, my beloved greyhounds would be at the less-desirable end of the list (not from personal experience, but from reputation), and I also knew that there would be a whiff of speciesism. Why?

On Why a Bunny Might Have Two Noses
The rabbits were produced, of course, by a rabbit mill that supplies "pet" stores with live creatures whom humans will purchase without having any idea of the conditions they were produced under. ( AP Photo/The Connecticut Post, Brian A. Pounds ) A pet store in Connecticut received a shipment of products last week. Products, meaning rabbits.

On "Knockout Animals"
And of course, the reality that all of this involves using sentient nonhumans when that's unnecessary isn't even considered. Today's New York Times gives us Adam Shriver's Op-Ed " Not Grass-Fed, But at Least Pain-Free ," which presents its dilemma at the end: If we cannot avoid factory farms altogether, the least we can do is eliminate the unpleasantness of pain in the animals that must live and die on them. It would be far better than doing nothing at all.

Animal Relief Efforts in Haiti
But, of course, we don't pay attention to Haiti unless the buildings all fall down.
...Tags: The Humane Society has information here. The ASPCA has a page too. I imagine like everything else, this is going to take a lot of hard work. Even under the best conditions, animals have a tough life in poverty stricken nations like Haiti.
