The kids and I enjoyed observing these chicks while we were visiting my father-in-law; interestingly, this brood is weeks behind other ones in this area, a testament to the inclement microclimate at the home of the infamous Chicken Inferno. If you’ve blogged about your weekend experience, you should include a link in your comment.

I still know my audience - this is primarily a blog read by birders in North America, who see the term “squirrel” as little more than a synonym for house sparrow, starling, pest and cholera. This is not about feeder competition and chicken wire. Anyway, the Eurasian Red Squirrel. It doesn’t raid bird feeders.

I've been having a difficult time blogging both here and at Animal Rights & AntiOppression lately because I feel like my thoughts are like " Groundhog Day." Yesterday I saw what could be the next such attempt in The Atlantic's " Last Clucks: The Death of a Chicken ," by Sara Lipka. He had indeed just murdered a chicken.

And as Ron Dudley shows, it goes beyond live mice, as he documented a whole chicken being left out by someone to attract raptors. At least a chicken would last awhile as a feeder. A few years back, Mike McDowell in his blog The Digiscoper , covered baiting owls in Not Baited.

I've been blogging here less partly because I've been blogging at Animal Rights & AntiOppression (check out my latest post " On Corporate Personhood and Animal Rights " and the better-than-the-post comments) but also because I've been feeling like a broken record and I don't want to bore anyone.

One manager told PETA Eats that most people prefer the vegetarian lettuce wraps over those with chicken. Everything else has chicken stock, oyster sauce or non-vegan sugar. But until then, unfortunately, the vegans that I am in contact with through my blog and through twitter and other venues online and not, will be dining elsewhere.

I haven't been able to blog, or, I haven't made it a priority. There are new Francione-style abolitionists and new people to veganism who debate about the ethics of consuming eggs from their neighbor's chickens. I understand why people want to shoot each other on I-95. But something else has happened.

Films are seeds (and Eric of I'm Vegan took a bit of a spill and when he's healed a bit more he'll get back to finishing up), blogs are seeds, vlogs are seeds, my recycled inner-tire rubber handbag is a seed. Websites can be seeds if they don't promote animal products while saying animals aren't ours to use; I find that confusing.

If you believe your dog has a right to a life free of torture and slaughter for no reason, then you really ought to think about extending that right to mice, rats, chickens and fish. Part of the reason my interest in blogging daily has waned is because of the infighting and mean-spiritedness that can be read. daily, in the blogosphere.

The site specifically names Gardenburger as a company that does not used caged chickens to get the eggs for their products and links to Gardenburger's statement on the practice.

Unfortunately, switching from red meat to chicken does not help very much. Chicken actually has just as much cholesterol as beef (about 100 milligrams of cholesterol in a 4-ounce serving) and almost as much fat. Researchers have also learned that the cancer-causing chemicals that form in beef as it cooks also tend to form in chicken.
