How many people know this about the Animal Welfare Act? No wonder there is so much "farm" animal abuse out there. The only cool thing is that Gene Bauer's views on the meat industry are so similar to those expressed on this blog a few weeks ago. This is really interesting. I certainly didn't.

This post is inspired by a thought-provoking piece on the Provoked blog (clearly a good name for a blog!) I believe that we have to be inclusive in the animal rights movement and attack the system using all kinds of methods in all sorts of fields. Tags: activism musings animal rights animal welfare.

I suspect that many readers of this blog are Christians but not vegetarians. Two varieties of moral vegetarianism can be distinguished: lactovo moral vegetarianism and vegan moral vegetarianism. Lactovo and vegan moral vegetarianism can be subdivided into what might be called new and old or traditional moral vegetarianism.
