My random number of 20 Lessons Learned From 4 Years of Blogging at Animal Person (for the others go to #1-6 , #7-10 and #11 & 12 ) ends today with #13-20, which is far longer than I thought it would be. If I had it all to do again, I'd do a video blog and I'd get at least proficient at the technical aspects. Sorry about that.

If you haven't seen the latest discussion about the perils of using AdSense, check out HSUS' Michael Markarian's Blog on Huffington Post is Advertising Fur , and its comments, which include a defense by HSUS.

AUGUST 11, 2009

Sadly there are 4 million healthy adoptable companion animals killed in shelters each year due to overcrowding. In addition to dogs and cats, we now feature all kinds of pets for adoption, including rabbits, farm animals, ferrets, hamsters and other small animals, horses, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and even fish.

Letters to the editor, blogging/podcasting/vlogging all come to mind as they don't involve interaction with other people (that's the problem in this instance). Though I'm an introvert by nature, I am also someone who has no problem being confrontational (to a fault) in many cases and I will perform like an extrovert if I need to.

The animal advocacy group Compassion Over Killing has created a new website to bring attention to the fact that Morningstar Farms continues to use "battery eggs" from caged birds in their products. I'll probably blog about it on my personal site in the near future to help you get the word out. Here is the link. Good stuff.

First of all, I would like to thank Keith for inviting me to be a part of this blog. I have always felt a sense of connection to animals since as far back as I can remember, and the current manner in which they are treated in factory farms disturbs me. Currently, I do not believe that killing an animal is prima facie morally wrong.

Now, I am quite sure the terms Rieselfelder and Klärteiche used to describe two different modes of cleaning sewage water, possibly comparable to ponds and sod farms that look like golf courses, but today they are freely exchangeable and birders will use whatever comes to their mind. Or flush chocolate bars down their toilet to lure them in.

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. It goes something like this: Yes, I agree that factory farming is morally unjustifiable and ought to be abolished.

Its goal was to limit the greedy collecting of birds killed for the plume trade, the bird meat trade (as in the wholesale slaughter of the Passenger Pigeon), and for sport (again, the Passenger Pigeon and declining numbers of waterfowl). This is not a negative criticism, it is a reflection of the audience for this blog.
