She has grown up in the reserve and has no experience of the environment of which tourists would not be a permanent, however boring part of.

There is a rational, and for some people a spiritual, case for being a vegetarian: Killing animals is wrong. But as Cohen experiences, humans don't live "in theory." This is a good news/bad news story. And that's the bad news. Do they suffer any more or less in death? I think not. The theory is sound.

It’s the warbler that is often the last unchecked species on birders’ life lists and, whether you list or not, for most of us observing it is a once in a lifetime experience. The good news is that Kirtland’s Warbler numbers are up, 1,828 singing males counted in the 2011 census. Fish and Wildlife Service endangered species list.

Not the day, the film, where Bill Murray experiences the same day over and over again. There are few animal rights stories in the news. 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. Respectfully?

Surgical simulators and supervised operating room experience work just fine. Harvard and Yale don't see the need to use (or kill) animals, so why do those three schools still do it? They don't want to use the new methods because they're comfortable with the old methods.

How smart does a chimpanzee have to be before killing him constitutes murder? The natural experiment must have been tried very infrequently, at least recently. If chimpanzees have consciousness, if they are capable of abstractions, do they not have what until now has been described as "human rights"?

One of Africa’s truly exhilarating experiences is watching and listening to a honking flock of these massive birds as they appear out of the early morning mists over a wetland, to land nearby and start their wing-flapping and jumping displays.

The good news is that if you know someone who needs to be schooled on all of the sordid details of factory farming, and appreciates good writing, this is a great book. But this plate also holds all of the animals that were killed for your serving of sushi. Ever, in fact. Imagine being served a plate of sushi. This is very silly.
