Moreover, pigs are not the only ones that would be happier with welfare improvements: according to a nationwide poll commissioned by the ASPCA, a majority of Americans want farm animals to be treated in a way that inflicts the least amount of pain and suffering possible.

In fact, a whole lot of semi-vegans can do much more for animals than the tiny number of people who are willing to give up all animal products and scrupulously read labels. 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.

On the traditional position, justification of vegetarianism was in terms of animal welfare, happiness, rights, and so on. People who care only about humans, for example, will not be persuaded by “old” vegetarian arguments, for those arguments rested on concern for animals. Consequently it would be wrong to kill and eat a bird.

What’s even more frustrating is when animal rights people learn of plans to cull nonnative species. Yes, of course it is too bad that so many animals (most often rats, mice and rabbits) have to be killed.

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. Cheetahs would be quite happy with you shooting Lions as Lions are bastards that keep stealing their kills. There is no solidarity among the big cats.

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. A good rule of thumb is to feel the tips of your animal’s ears. Ice, sleet and snow make it more difficult for animals to track a scent and find their way home if they get lost.
