Twice in the past 24 hours (once here and once on Stephanie's blog, in the comments )I have come across the following statement: "[insert animal here] are safe from predators, get fed regularly, and are better off on farms than if they were in 'the wild.'" They are created to be slaughtered. The choice isn't the wild or the farm.

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." Not the day, the film, where Bill Murray experiences the same day over and over again. There are few animal rights stories in the news. That's respect.

I've used the term "animal activism" lately as an experiment. I want to talk about why we shouldn't be using animals and that it's infinitely easier to be a vegan than it was 20 years ago. So there are more vegans and fewer animals used by humans, right? I'm trying to gauge people's receptivity to what I'm about to say.

Their goal is to make a profit from the breeding and slaughter of animals. Just ask former cattle rancher Howard Lyman , who is now a vegan and animal rights activist. Families are just as capable of horrendous policies toward animals as anyone else.

Jonathan Hubbell, a philosophy major at the University of Texas at Arlington, is the newest member of the Animal Ethics blog, and once again, I would like to welcome him aboard. The question is not: "Is there any conceivable set of circumstances in which it would be permissible to eat meat?" Running time: 12 Minutes. They are alive and well.
