Juluri is referring to something specific: the Supreme Court's examination of First Amendment protection of acts of cruelty to animals. And the article is worth reading just for that. It may be for the courts to decide whether cruelty to animals can pass off as free speech, but we must also rethink these important ideas as a culture.

I came across this strange article about German research on which slaughter method creates more pain for the animal: the Western method of stunning or the Islamic method of a cut to the neck. You can read all about the results in the article. According to the researchers, the Islamic method wins. What an utterly grotesque project.

How ridiculous is it that " On the Psychological Continuum ," to say nothing of an article against rabbit fur, is on the same page as Gabriella's Fur Den?

If you can get through the article's pernicious nonsense, there are some salient points, albeit the result of confusion on the part of the author. However, both his perceptions and misconceptions are based on: 1) observing the work of PeTA and HSUS; and 2) the assumption that those two organizations are in the same category--"animal rights."

Wherever companies profit from cruelty, you can rest assured that they will try to hide that cruelty from consumers, because cruelty makes a rather poor PR statement. Because, despite a NY Times story designed to promote fur sales, real fur is associated with cruelty, and cruelty is never "in."
