And so the Friends of Animals took them to court, demanding an injunction and a return to live-trapping. And so, injunctions were granted and lifted, granted and lifted, over the course of more than a decade; during one busy period in 1982, the official stance on killing the goats changed five times in two months.

would call HSUS an animal rights group (after all, HSUS doesn't even do that). Or how a paragraph would refer to animal rights and animal welfare as if they're interchangeable. Of course , I say to myself, language is worth fighting for. Won't the battle always be won by common usage/the majority?

This is of course an anathema for many in the animal rights camp. I’m not unsympathetic to concerns about animal welfare, really. But that isn’t one of the options. Not at the moment, anyway. So we do the best we can with what we have. And, honestly, that’s fine. To a point.

But there is a significant contingent who is not as enamored with the Laboratory Animal Welfare Act as he is. Of course, "That's not to say dogs didn't have their niche in biomedicine. To this day, 95 percent of the animals used in research labs receive no federal protection whatsoever under the Animal Welfare Act."

We are not people who are interested in discussing animal rights, as in, the right of sentient nonhumans to not be used by humans for potential profit, for sport or for lunch. Of course, what they are talking about and how they are changing their behavior is very frustrating for someone who doesn't believe we should be using animals at all.

The Calgary Humane Society works with the Stampede to make sure the animals are safe (and by the way that's impossible if the animals are being used in the rodeo. Safe, unharmed rodeo animals is an oxymoron). Calf-roping (which of course is a hideous practice, but so are the rest of the animal-related rodeo activities).

Of course, the meat is more expensive since it takes lots of real estate to freely graze a herd, and it’s tougher than typical supermarket fare (Americans are used to a style of marbling that’s caused by grain diets and flabby cattle, whereas grass-fed cows are trim from their daily ambles).

Latimer refers to his previous two posts where he has "documented the ethical and moral shallowness of the 'animal rights' credo itself, which is based more on an anti-human self hatred, taking the form of a 'moral' squeamishness concerned more with stamping out human 'cruelty,' no matter what the social or economic costs might be.

His book on atheism is among the best I have read on that topic, which is why I used it in my Philosophy of Religion course many years ago.

Yes, of course it is too bad that so many animals (most often rats, mice and rabbits) have to be killed.
