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. Isn't my time better spent fighting for actual animal rights than the term "animal rights?".

Stephanie has been dealing with the usual "dogs-love-to-run" and "it's-part-of-our culture" and "this-is-what-they're-bred-to-do" crowd, which is a thankless, enervating and maddening job. He also notes that evidence that welfarism is misguided is that even the sealers are for it. which includes a poll. Thank you, Susan Hargreaves.

To the Editor: Re “ Dog Eat Your Taxes? ” (Op-Ed, July 9): It may be amusing for Ray D. Madoff to criticize Leona Helmsley’s charitable giving by saying her fortune “is going to the dogs,” but those of us who give to the Humane Society of the United States and other animal-rescue organizations feel otherwise.

To the Editor: Thank you for publicizing the plight of satos—street dogs—in Puerto Rico in “ Scrutiny for Puerto Rico Over Animal Treatment ” (news article, March 9). As one animal advocate put it, “we need to work together and keep the finger in the side of government.”

People who study pigs say they are as intelligent as a 3-year-old child, smarter even than the dogs we share our homes with. Would anyone in this day and age dare to say that we cannot presume to know a dog’s mind, that a dog cannot tell us if it is happy or sad, frustrated, lonely or bored? BOBBIE MULLINS Norfolk, Va.,

Well, as it turns out neither a trip to a slaughterhouse nor killing an animal yourself is powerful enough to make people go vegan. The bottom line is that there are many reasons why human-animal interactions are so often inconsistent and paradoxical. He watched cockfighting and killed and skinned animals, but won’t eat veal.

If these policies were adopted, small-scale animal agriculture would be a more economical model, and people would eat less meat. This would result in improved human health, decreased environmental destruction and better animal welfare. A carnivore is an organism that, by nature, feeds only on animal flesh.

MEXICO CITY – Animal rights activists staged a protest against the sale of pets in Mexico City, urging residents to adopt dogs and other animals instead of buying them. Eight of every 10 dogs sold in Mexico end up in the streets, with most of them having been family pets at some point, official figures show.

Farm animals also benefit from the humane farming movement, even if the animal welfare changes it effects are not all that we should hope and work for. If the goal is not moral perfection for ourselves, but the maximum benefit for animals, half-measures ought to be encouraged and appreciated. Wolves eat sheep.

In responding to Suzie’s post defending wildlife rehabilitation I began to think again about the areas in which animal rights and animal welfare overlap with the field of conservation, and the ways in which they don’t. And people that work in either conservation or animal welfare tend to like animals.

In the past I have attributed some of this conflict to differences between the conservation mindset and that of animal rights/animal welfare. The way things should be is a very powerful motivating factor in human lives. Dogs should not be used to hunt foxes. A hungry child should be fed.

The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW; www.ifaw.org ) has compiled some tips on how to keep pets happy and healthy in the cold months ahead. Not all dogs were born with lush fur coats that keep off the winter chill. A good rule of thumb is to feel the tips of your animal’s ears. Keep Them Close.

The interests of those working for conservation and those working for animal rights and animal welfare don’t always perfectly align like you might think they do. With no permanent habitation inside its boundaries, human disturbance is low. I think you could make a good case that this reserve is important.
