You say that "Family Farms do not exist and that they don't care about their animals." Allow me to suggest an answer: It looks like Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary or Peaceful Prairie Sanctuary or Maple Farm Sanctuary or another place where animals are rescued from certain betrayal and death, often under the guise of "love" and "family." For more on the "love" animal farmers have for "their" animals, see also On Compassionate Carnivores and Betrayal.

As this article notes, as sad as this is, it's only going to spur accusations that animal lovers are also unfeeling human haters. I hope the sanctuary animals find good homes. Tags: animal sanctuary In other words, we are abominations within our species. It's a load of BS though. But most of us are used to it and can take it. But, again, it's a sad story for the victim and the accused. Even worse, the accused appears to have tried to cover up the hit-and-run.

Apparently, Bubbles is now 26 years old and living at an animal sanctuary. But I thought he was at an animal sanctuary? I had forgotten all about Michael Jackson and his chimp Bubbles whom he rescued from a research facility. He got too aggressive to live with Jackson's kids. This is not surprising. Chimpanzees, like Travis the chimp who mauled the woman in Connecticut, are not meant to be family pets.

I just watched episode 1, season 1, of Dogtown , the National Geographic Channel TV show about Dogtown at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, UT. I remember posting last summer about an abused pit bull mother who was euthanized by our animal shelter for being food-aggressive. If we expend the money and energy on "rehabilitating" hardened criminals, then why can't we do so with animals. I think food aggression is just an excuse to make space for the next animal.

In an act of kindness, the police took the dog, which was a Greyhound female, to the nearby Nuneaton Warwickshire Wildlife Sanctuary, run by a man named Geoff Grewcock and known as a willing haven for Animals abandoned, orphaned or otherwise in need.

I was thinking about the Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary calendar of rescued animals photographed by Deb Durant that's on my refrigerator. It's on the refrigerator, but when you open the refrigerator door you'll see nothing that came from the animals in the calendar. No animal secretion smells, nothing that's dripping bloody liquid. Websites can be seeds if they don't promote animal products while saying animals aren't ours to use; I find that confusing.

Here's my attempt to bring it all together in an Animal Person post. As a vegan, part of what I believe is that bringing animals onto this planet to use them as food or as pets isn't ethical. The concept of creating when you can adopt is the same with people and animals, yes, but desiring and creating an animal as a pet isn't exactly the same when you unpack it all.

Families, so the commercials go, don't engage in untoward aspects of animal husbandry that might hurt the cows. Families are just as capable of horrendous policies toward animals as anyone else. Their goal is to make a profit from the breeding and slaughter of animals. Just ask former cattle rancher Howard Lyman , who is now a vegan and animal rights activist.
