Yesterday I received an e-mail alert from the Animal Rights Foundation of Florida (ARFF) regarding " a coin operated game that uses live lobsters at the Royal Palm Ale House in Royal Palm Beach. The final sentence of the article is: " It's no different than a lobster tank in a restaurant," said Palm Beach Ale House owner Jay Starr.

over at Animal Rights and AntiOppression and I welcome comments (and will respond to the current ones shortly). But as far as the article goes, I particularly like: "a radical new vision is needed to rescue the importance of the vegan message for global crisis and situate it in its full social and ecological context.".

They're not necessarily questioning the ethics, but the efficacy. This is an excellent article that appeared in the Boston Globe last week. The feud between animal rights activists and researchers is among the bitterest in science.

How ridiculous is it that " On the Psychological Continuum ," to say nothing of an article against rabbit fur, is on the same page as Gabriella's Fur Den? The ads I see today have nothing to do with animal cruelty--the opposite is true. I may have just gotten myself fired from Animal Rights Zone.

Why are Leftists to shoulder the blame for the exploitation of animals simply because of their tardiness in arriving on the animal rights scene? I also liked Best's article because, though we all may have read Bekoff (and I'll write about Wild Justice soon!) And those unable to speak for themselves. Have a great day!

Yesterday's " Do Small Victories Affect Big Picture in Animal Rights Debate? Both, of course, were seen as victories, but the article's author, Richard Foot, asks: Do such successes mean the animal rights movement is winning its long, controversial campaigns to gain the same legal protections for animals as those ascribed to humans?

I'm doing my best in an imperfect world to respect the rights of other sentients, and I have heard vegans say that sanctuaries--and not pet ownership--will be the only way out of subjugation for cats and dogs. I remember the first time I read an article by a prominent vegan--maybe it was David Cantor ?--who Do you agree with that?

Vamsee Juluri, Professor of Media Studies at the University of San Francisco, takes me back to graduate school when he writes of the importance of the stories we tell ourselves in " Use Free Speech to Celebrate Animal Life, Not to Enjoy Their Suffering." And the article is worth reading just for that. What do you think?

I've been blogging here less partly because I've been blogging at Animal Rights & AntiOppression (check out my latest post " On Corporate Personhood and Animal Rights " and the better-than-the-post comments) but also because I've been feeling like a broken record and I don't want to bore anyone.

Bea sent me a link to an article in Gourmet called " Humane Slaughterhouses ," by Rebecca Marx, that is absurd. Finally, "But the idea of how an animal meets its ultimate fate is usually ignored—until, of course, we see YouTube videos of sick cows being hauled to their deaths on bulldozers." It involves not killing them.

While spending hours in the car I've been thinking about various issues related to sentient nonhumans, animal rights and veganism. I cannot locate the article), and one was a post about abolitionists. I want humans to stop viewing animals as means to an end of some sort. Two links in particular struck me recently.
