This kind of detailed genetic and developmental work has traditionally relied on model species in the lab (aka chickens). Seriously, who would want to work on chickens after seeing that?

A flying but biggish (as in chicken-turkey-size) bird gave rise to a basal non-flying bird that broke up through vicariance into the diversity we see today. To be more specific, the Kiwi descends from a bird that FLEW there from Africa or Madagascar and then became the kiwi. This suggests that Ratites flew, and the story was nice and clean.

We have citizen science projects like Project Feeder Watch headed by Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Lots of people do it, birders and non birders alike. It’s a wholesome activity that grandparents share with the kids. Parents are encouraged to do it to introduce wildlife to children. One in particular is for Crested Caracaras.

This last implies of course an improvement in ethics, as opposed to morality, as I have defined it, unless we already understand 'Do as you would be done by' as applicable to whales, cattle, chickens, and so on, as it is to human beings.

Mr. Hurst flippantly questions the ability to measure a pig’s happiness, but sound science—not to mention common sense—clearly establishes that mother pigs locked in gestation crates with so little space that they cannot turn around for most of their lives do indeed suffer.

You’d think, then, that applying science to philosophy by studying the evolutionary underpinnings of thought and behavior across species would be right up my alley. I love grappling with big ideas, but dislike the tendency to extrapolate endless sky-bridges of thought and constantly redefine terms.

All those who care about proper nutrition must look at the developing science, which may suggest that diet should be customized: some may need to decrease their consumption of grains and increase their consumption of meat.

The magnificent history and diversity of birds on Earth came into sharper focus this month with the publication of 28 new scientific papers in Science and other journals. That means that with all the early branching that went on among ancient birds, and everything that has happened since, chickens have undergone the fewest genetic changes.

I refuse to eat pork, but eat grass-fed beef when I am making Persian food, and certain forms of chicken and lamb with other ethnic foods I consume. In other words, there are moral limits to science, as to law. I, like you, am not a complete vegetarian. In fact, my diet is worse, but I do justify my eating habits.

You can designate it thus; you can legally call it a Rhode Island Red chicken if you want, but no whooping crane on this planet is nonessential.

Finally, Scott writes that "we have the responsibility to set aside emotion as much as possible and make rational, science-based decisions on policy in an effort to balance the concerns of all involved.".
