Choosing the right pet for your child is key. Start with easier pets – Many people don’t want to start with the responsibility of a dog or cat. Cats for quiet kids – I find that cats are great pets for very introverted kids. Having a cat helps draw the child out in a non-threatening way. By Dr. Tim Hunt, DVM.

So here I am, on the third anniversary of Animal Person, asking for advice that has nothing to do with veganism or animal rights (and I've tweeted about this so some of you already know what's coming). I'm in the position of having to build a website for a child welfare organization. From scratch.

These three groups are already operating mobile veterinary clinics and other services in Haiti, and planning to go to Chile when they’re allowed in: IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare).

In responding to Suzie’s post defending wildlife rehabilitation I began to think again about the areas in which animal rights and animal welfare overlap with the field of conservation, and the ways in which they don’t. And people that work in either conservation or animal welfare tend to like animals.

It's one that's brought on, no doubt, by the acts of vandalism and intimidation of radical animal-rights groups, but I think it also serves to insulate the research community from any responsibility it might otherwise have to increase transparency and public engagement with the work. It "guarantees humane treatment?" Maybe on paper.

Today I’m exploring a couple questions that have been bouncing in my head for a while…I’d love to hear your thoughts…I’m not calling into question animal rights, just the focus of the movement. – The Great Ornithologist Felonious Jive Animal rights. This makes perfect sense.

And people who say they want us to stop using animals, yet whose tactics appear to be in the service of the welfare of animals, can be called "new welfarists."

Farm animals also benefit from the humane farming movement, even if the animal welfare changes it effects are not all that we should hope and work for. He’s right: I don’t care deeply about the suffering of animals I eat, wear or otherwise benefit from. Lerner Woodside, Calif., Mr. Steiner rightly rejects this view as morally flawed.

The Argument from Human Grain Shortage All of the clearly moral arguments for vegetarianism given so far have been in terms of animal rights and suffering. New moral vegetarianism, however, rests on moral arguments couched in terms of human welfare. It is argued that beef cattle and hogs are protein factories in reserve.

99% of the commentary I have seen has been angry bordering on outright hostile, the few exceptions mostly being the kind of right wing “news” sites that love nothing more than tweaking a tree-hugging liberal like myself. There is no solidarity among the big cats. Conservation Animal Rights hunting' Shoot something!

A fun and easy holiday treat to make for your dog, and for the other dogs in your life, can be found right here. The economic downturn has had a profound effect on the financial welfare of families, many of whom have been forced to surrender their beloved pets to shelters. Love that they are a great alternative to store bought treats!
