He also introduced LB 306, otherwise known as the Livestock Animal Welfare Act. Basically, it would mandate that humane societies and horse rescue operations would have to accept a horse if one was presented to them, or they would face a class four misdemeanor," said Larson.

People interested in animal welfare who are against this idea are completely missing the point here. It is simply not feasible to safely live-trap thousands of animals and conveniently move them to some rescue shelter…the time and money do not exist, and you will never remove every individual without accidentally killing some.

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? That's the bit that trips up many of us.

We’ve dealt with many animal welfare agencies around the world, but have never encountered one so responsive, helpful and positive as the Humane Society of Grand Bahama.

Vegans give money to organizations that they think are going to further their vegan cause but that's not what ends up happening with all 100% of those donations (let's assume some goes to vegan education or animal rescue or even open rescue). we did it yesterday so we should do it today) and because there's profit in it.

On the traditional position, justification of vegetarianism was in terms of animal welfare, happiness, rights, and so on. For example, I have a duty to keep my promise to meet a friend for dinner, but this duty can be overridden by a stronger duty, say, to rescue people who are involved in an accident.
