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." Let's deconstruct: Legal experts in China are proposing a ban on the eating of dogs and cats. So the ban isn't being suggested because eating cats and dogs is wrong, but because it's creating conflict.

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.

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. But there is a significant contingent who is not as enamored with the Laboratory Animal Welfare Act as he is. It "guarantees humane treatment?" Maybe on paper.

Two of the activists, one painted to look like a dog and the other like a cat, stood in gift boxes holding signs that urged people not to view animals as toys and to adopt pets instead of purchasing them.

I should think that the trustee of funds willed to a dog or cat is more than a mere custodian of the animal he protects. Many of the higher animals at least have appetites, conative urges, and rudimentary purposes, the integrated satisfaction of which constitutes their welfare or good.

New moral vegetarianism, however, rests on moral arguments couched in terms of human welfare.
