I think that ocean life, with the exception of mammals, are often overlooked because they are not the sentient, communicating species that we identify with, like primates, dogs, cats, etc. And, at this point, I'd rather have oceans with healthy fisheries for the seafood industry than those without any fisheries left at all.

Also, that's how you get the cat-and-dog-and-horse (and maybe dolphin) people to cross over into a world where cuteness isn't the primary concern. On the left, you'll see this: Concepts.

Casualties surrounding migration were limited to natural events such as weather – not wind generators, poisoned food and water from industry, farm run-off, or loss of traditional stopover areas due to habitat destruction. Once upon a time, the sky was blue and unpolluted, habitat plentiful, and natural food untainted.

I haven't examined each institutionalized use of animals the way that Dunayer has, with the possible exception of vivisection, and I learned a lot about the details of the language of each industry. Here are some of my favorite quotes: " Companion anima l reduces a dog, cat, or other nonhuman to the role of companion.

You were laid off 6 months ago and your industry is crippled by the recession. Your dog or cat—your best friend in the world—gets sick. Here’s the scenario. There are no jobs to apply for and your unemployment claim expired last week. You can’t catch a break. And then terror piles upon tragedy.

For those who didn't read the five-part Slate series " Pepper, the stolen dog who changed American science " by Daniel Engber , I recommend it for the history, but also for the misconceptions and assumptions that you might want to discuss on the Facebook discussion about the series.

In an ever-changing industry obsessed with trends, “sour is the new hoppy” has been the new maxim. By most reckonings, the Northern Hemisphere is in the middle of the so-called dog days of summer. Beer, like all food and drink, is best enjoyed by following the seasons.

I’ve written at length about the specific vulnerability of insular faunas and the catastrophic extinctions caused by the arrival of rats, mice, ferrets, cats and possums (amongst others), here in New Zealand fully half the pre-human bird species were lost. It is without question an unpleasant way to die for any animal.

While visiting another set of children who have a lizard in a tank as well as a dog, the dog is called "he" but the lizard is called "it." All animals except the dog are called "it" (I did a little experiment to see what would happen). I remember that as a child I called all cats "she" and dogs "he" in the absence of a name.

Here at Farm Sanctuary, we live with turkeys, so we know they are interesting and intelligent and have complex emotional lives like dogs, cats and other animals. Sadly, the meat industry subjects turkeys to intolerable cruelty and treats them like inanimate objects with no feelings or personalities.

On a very quiet night during a lull in the drama of the ducks, I was researching the Greyhound racing industry, and seething over its treatment of dogs as well as the support it often gets, through subsidies, to help it survive. And you can’t drive on the Interstate without seeing signs telling you when to exit for the “Dog Track.”

Paul Mann with dogs. Pet Care, the nation’s largest provider of professional pet sitting and dog walking services, has devoted his life to the safety and comfort of pets. Dogs and cats are creatures of habit and can easily become frightened, aggressive or agitated by the unaccustomed sights and sounds of costumed visitors.

I grew up respecting dogs and cats, but not other animals. They were forcing us to be consumers of animal exploitation industries. When my husband and I first adopted Baby Sky, several friends and relatives asked, "are you going to make her be a vegan? And what happens if she decides to eat meat later on?"
