10,000 Birds

JANUARY 29, 2017

The Baltimore Ravens crushed my beloved New York Giants in Super Bowl XXXV (2001) to become football’s finest feathered franchise. This isn’t even including victories by that fantastic franchise named for sufferers of gigantism. Avian-themed teams simply don’t do very well in the big game. This year may, of course, be different.

Animal Ethics

FEBRUARY 27, 2012

That system may treat sentient animals like car parts, ruin antibiotics we need for human medicine, and destroy rural communities by polluting our air and water, but at least it’s “efficient” (a word Mr. Hurst hammers three times). JILLIAN PARRY FRY Baltimore, Feb. BOBBIE MULLINS Norfolk, Va., That sounds like a win-win to us.

Animal Ethics

NOVEMBER 24, 2009

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. Go vegan, go vegetarian, go humane or just eat less meat. If we all decide to consider animals as precious as humans, the only logical place for us is back in the jungle.
