A couple of years ago I catalogued the dozens of excuses/rationalizations from well-meaning, compassionate people about why they eat animals, and all fell into one of six categories: It's what god wanted (and other versions, such as: That's why they were put on the earth. Cain=farmer=evil murderer; Abel=slaughtered animals=victim/good son.

Lost Animals: Extinction and the Photographic Record by Errol Fuller is one of these books. Lost Animals is a book about what was lost and witnesses to the loss—how the bird or mammal was viewed, often for the last time, through the lens of a camera. Yes, it is about extinction, a popular topic in the Year of the Passenger Pigeon.

Reiki (pronounced ray-key) energy healing is a gentle, painless, yet powerful modality that works on all living things – human and animal. Animals in particular are receptive to Reiki, because they have a higher energy frequency running through their bodies than humans do. Other times the animal will become invigorated and energized.

How smart does a chimpanzee have to be before killing him constitutes murder? If they are "only" animals, if they are beasts which abstract not, then my comparison is a piece of sentimental foolishness. The natural experiment must have been tried very infrequently, at least recently. These chimps are healthy and well-fed.

There is a profound difference between what Sea Shepherd does and what the Animal Liberation Front does, but there are also similarities, and those similarities increase in number if a direct action by the ALF (or anyone else) is an open rescue and therefore a direct defense of sentient nonhumans being attacked by humans. That's one result.

There is a rational, and for some people a spiritual, case for being a vegetarian: Killing animals is wrong. I repeat: If you eat meat (I'd say: products that come from animals) , you cannot logically find it morally or ethically repugnant to eat a particular meat (i.e., product that comes from an animal ). I think not.

That is, they contribute to increasing, in the long run, the quantity of satisfaction which an individual experiences. The interests in nourishment and in gustatory pleasure lead man to kill and eat cattle, fish, and fowl. And I believe that in most cases man is morally justified in thus reducing the satisfactions of the food animals.

The first was Lewis Binford, who noted, correctly, that if you look at actual animal bones from actual archaeological sites, you could not objectively see clear evidence that would distinguish hunting from scavenging, and if you compared these “food remains” to hyena food remains, they looked roughly the same.
