Indian gazelle You know the secret of how African park rangers find animals for tourists? And the animals themselves? When they spot a traffic jam in the savanna, it is easy enough to conclude that some unfortunate animal is being surrounded by telephoto lenses. The main tactic is diversion.

When I started blogging in May of 2006 I was very snarky. Snark defined blogging back then. Riddle me this: Why would any human animal use as a default position that nonhuman animals do not have personalities as rich, distinct, obnoxious, obsequious and varied as human animals? We're sentient.

I've used the term "animal activism" lately as an experiment.

It is technically correct, and recently fashionable, to insist that any living animal is a member of the larger group that contains it phylogenetically, i.e., ancestrally, with that group often named after the known animal that roots the tree. So, for example, humans are apes. Whales are cows. And smaller. And smaller.
