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.

Because I've been thinking about the evolution of my own thinking--and languaging--regarding animal rights. Both animal rights groups and animal welfare groups use "compassion" frequently. Then again, so do people who kill animals for a living. Why all the quotation marks? Not that I'm giving you a deadline.

I've been having a difficult time blogging both here and at Animal Rights & AntiOppression lately because I feel like my thoughts are like " Groundhog Day." There are few animal rights stories in the news. Not the day, the film, where Bill Murray experiences the same day over and over again. People are talking.

Since a number of "Animal Ethics" readers reside in the northern Illinois area, I thought I would call your attention to an exciting lecture that is taking place on Northern Illinois University's campus. If you are in the area and have an interest in animals and the environment, I hope you will join us for this special Earth Day event.

As anyone who follows this blog knows, outdoor cats are a veritable holocaust for wild birds, small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and even insects. Almost every single outdoor pet cat, feral cat, or stray kills other animals , no matter how well fed the cat is through other sources. American Bird Conservancy – The Cats Indoors!

Animal Ethics

I suspect that many readers of this blog are Christians but not vegetarians. On the traditional position, justification of vegetarianism was in terms of animal welfare, happiness, rights, and so on. I read Martin’s essay only recently, having discovered it by accident.

It takes a slightly different take on vegetarian advocacy—trying to quantify the effects of single meal decisions to protect the environment and improve animal welfare. At this point we're emailing websites and blogs that have related themes, our goal being to get the word out that the site exists. Cheers, Bernard Brown

ADI, which has previously rescued and relocated animals in Europe, South America and Africa have described it as one of the most complex logistical operation they have ever undertaken but say it will be worth all of the effort when the animals walk free. As other animals need homes we will be assessing these on a case by case basis.
