Quantico Military Base is really behaving cruelly when it comes to the feral cats on its base. If they are not adoptable, oh well, kill them. Frizzell explained that a large population of feral cats is ultimately detrimental to the overall environmental health of the base, its native species and ecosystems. Whiskers" or "Frisky?"

If you don't have to enslave, rape, dominate, or kill someone (or have someone else do it for you), why would you? Sometimes an article has a couple of the above, as in the case of " Chinese Legal Experts Call for a Ban on Eating Cats and Dogs." It sounds like it might not even help cats and dogs in a meaningful way.

We are a far bigger problem on this planet than the (over)population of feral cats, elephants, Canada geese, or any other creature we "manage" or want to manage, "humanely" or otherwise. And when the option is rounding them up and killing them, TNR looks like an especially attractive option. How contradictory is that?

I'm doing my best in an imperfect world to respect the rights of other sentients, and I have heard vegans say that sanctuaries--and not pet ownership--will be the only way out of subjugation for cats and dogs. But I frankly never thought of not helping individual cats and dogs (through adoption) as an option for me.

Make sure your pet always wears an ID tag and has a microchip registered with a national database, so he can be easily returned. Pets think antifreeze tastes great, but it is a lethal poison for dogs and cats. Even a small amount can kill. Cats and other small animals may try to find warmth in your car engine during the winter.

Here are some of my favorite quotes: " Companion anima l reduces a dog, cat, or other nonhuman to the role of companion. Minus that role, the term implies, such an animal has no place; if they aren't some human's companion, or their companionship fails to please, they can be abandoned or killed" (8).

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.

He's right with his implication that stopping the seizing of pets and strays simply created a more efficient, effective means of commodifying and torturing dogs and cats. Engber writes of experimenting on cats and on the "furtive language" vivisectionists use to decrease the emotional impact of what they do. Maybe on paper.
