My self-appointed job in this blog is to think critically about how our human lives intersect with those of sentient nonhumans, in action and thought. The message I hear is: tormenting animals before you brutally torture and slaughter them is wrong, but brutally torturing and slaughtering them without the preceding torment is okay.

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. Or if it's brutal it is necessary.

I was going to change Animal Person to Vegan Atheist 40+ Parenting and come back to blogging. Doesn't have a ring to it at all, but a young man at Whole Foods yesterday called himself an "animal person" while ordering a roast beef wrap and I thought: Note to self-must change blog name if going to resume blogging.

A handful Animal Person readers since May of 2006, when I started this then-daily blog, have asked me if I've read Joan Dunayer. My deconstructions of the language of our relationship with sentient nonhumans in this blog--and the way I approach discussing that relationship--is similar to Dunayer's.

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. Baur believes that slaughterhouse cruelty can be reduced by simple operational changes, such as slowing down the slaughter lines. I certainly didn't.

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.

After scrolling through piles of furious emails regarding a recent blog about Rip Van Winkle’s Crow Killing Contest , it seemed to me that all of us needed Dr. Phil. You can see the comments from both sides by scrolling down after the blog’s conclusion. A late-posted blog comment was both revealing and chilling.

I've been engaging in some of the steps for about a year, beginning with reading the books and blogs of people I have come to deeply respect and for the most part agree with. The books and blogs mentioned in the post aren't for everyone in style or substance, and for me style can be an enormous hurdle. I also disagree with them.

Their goal is to make a profit from the breeding and slaughter of animals. One of the most important things about Deb's blog, Invisible Voices , is that many of the fortunate animals who end up at Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary , where she volunteers, came from family farms. When it's put that way, doesn't it sound silly?

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.
