This is irksome, as the premise is that we need to save the animals (and which ones is an interesting discussion) because we will suffer if they are gone. And of course that premise is only possible because the animals (and everything else on the planet) are our "resources."

The Argument from Animal Rights A stronger argument is made by people who maintain that animals have rights. In particular, it has been argued that animals have a right to life. So, even if animals are killed painlessly and raised for food in humane ways, it is wrong to kill them.

Brief commentary follows this e-mail I received regarding greyhounds, animal rights and Ireland. At ARAN many of our volunteers work day and night fighting animal abuse- -we're simply asking you for just two hours during our week of action against the Greyhound industry in Ireland. Need reminding why cruelty to animals is wrong?

Utilitarians persuaded of the leading premise here should, I think, be willing to pay the higher prices, and to plump for protections of animals of the kind in question. by which animal diets exceed vegetable diets for us. And most of us, of course, just don't know about this. But what about the vegetarian alternative?

It's one that's brought on, no doubt, by the acts of vandalism and intimidation of radical animal-rights groups, but I think it also serves to insulate the research community from any responsibility it might otherwise have to increase transparency and public engagement with the work.

A column entitled "Ag Industry Threatened by Animal Rights" appeared in today's High Plains/Midwest Ag Journal [ HPMAJ ]. The column, which you can read here , is a call to arms to factory farmers to fight back against those individuals and organizations working to protect farm animals from the abuses inherent in factory farms.

Hunting sandhill cranes in the Eastern flyway will put those 100 whooping cranes at even greater risk of being brought down by gunfire, hunter education courses and handy color brochures notwithstanding. In the only state in the Central Flyway that protects cranes from hunting. Quick: what’s this? Photo used by permission of Arthur M.

Clearly, in the face of near universal condemnation from the internet masses, there is only one course of action for me. This Lion should not be shot, as it is a protected reserve that forbids shooting. You can get a pretty good idea of the case for the prosecution by reading my good friend Charlie’s take on the story.

Bush signed the “ Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act ” into law this past Monday (November 27, 2006). The law protects animal enterprises from courses of conduct designed to disrupt their normal profitable functioning. They enacted it to make animal abusers and the corporations that profit from that animal abuse richer.
