The nature and purpose of this call is to inform you that we have received an eagle petition concerning a cat filed against you. I’m a wildlife rehabilitator, so I’m always ranting about things like eagles being lead poisoned or songbirds being slaughtered by outdoor and feral cats. For a minute, she had me. Uh-oh, I thought.

Let's deconstruct: "Anthropological adventure" is an interesting choice of words. But I bet anything doesn't go. Any other factories on the agenda?

Here are some of my favorite quotes: " Companion anima l reduces a dog, cat, or other nonhuman to the role of companion. By pairing humane with slaughter , legislators have sanctioned horrific cruelty and mass murder. What if slaughter were freed (miraculously) of all terror and pain?

And I want Baby Sky to grow up in a home where there is just as much respect for chickens and calves and fishes as there is for greyhounds and cats and people. I choose to opt out of traditions that cause harm and are the direct result of the exploitation and commodification of beings just like Charles , but who look a little different.

Thankfully the days of visiting Africa purely for slaughtering its wildlife have mostly come to a merciful end, and safari operators have adopted the Big Five term to market tours that offer sightings of the fortunate remanants of Africa’s once teeming great herds.

The horrific practice in China of skinning cats and dogs alive for their fur must go down as one of the worst cases of sustained mass cruelty to animals in human history. Every year, more than 2,000,000 cats and dogs are skinned alive in China for their fur. The horror must be stopped. Please help. Visit [link] and decide for yourself.

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.

Whereas those arguments maintain that grain-eating animals should not be slaughtered, this argument is at least consistent with the position that they should be: grain-eating animals, it might be maintained by a new moral vegetarian, should be slaughtered to prevent them from eating more grain and producing new grain-eating offspring.

Many people exclude animals from moral consideration, even though they would never think to neglect, much less harm, a dog or a cat. Have you looked at images or videotapes of slaughter? So I must try to keep my morality open to revision, exposing it to whatever valid pressures there are—including pressures from my sympathies.

We don't really get an answer for that one, but we do get to the real question, which Scott alludes to in graph #3: "So how do we bridge the gap between maximizing profit at the expense of an animal’s expression of its natural tendencies and treating livestock as we would the family cat?" What's all this about emotion, anyway?
