On "Compassion," "Nonviolence" and "Justice"

Animal Person

Then again, so do people who kill animals for a living. After all, they "love" the animals they kill. Nonviolence" is much more difficult to finesse if you're killing animals for a living. Or vegan pumpkin pie. Compassion" has been so diluted that most people don't bat an eyelash at the idea of " compassionate carnivores."

Animal Welfare Act Inadequate for Farm Animals

Critter News

The only cool thing is that Gene Bauer's views on the meat industry are so similar to those expressed on this blog a few weeks ago.

Two links in particular struck me recently.

Lessons Learned, The Finale

Animal Person

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.
