Not only is Kenn Kaufman a world-class birder and all-around naturalist who makes his living doing what he loves. Eastern red bats, for only one example, may actually be attracted to wind turbines; and unlike birds, they are often killed by “barotrauma” – their inner organs explode from the drop in air pressure as the blade sweeps past.).

Women’s hats, specifically, a significant sartorial symbol of class and status in the late 19 th and early 20 th centuries. This mass avian exploitation, amazing and repugnant, ultimately met its end through separate campaigns in the United States and Great Britain, each led by women, mostly upper-middle class women.

The RSPCA believes: " at least 20 greyhounds a day - either puppies which do not make the track, or 'retired' dogs aged three or four - simply 'disappear', presumed killed " Many vets will admit to killing healthy greyhounds – by definition it cannot be classed as euthanasia – for a cut price fee, for fear the dogs will be disposed of in a less humane (..)

The changing climate meant milder winters that kill off fewer mice and more mice meant more pressure on their food supply of vegetation and insects, such as the endemic flightless moth species, causing them to turn their appetites to the baby seabirds sitting helplessly all over the island. That is not the case on a birding cruise.

To the Editor: Re “ To Revive Hunting, States Turn to the Classroom ” (front page, March 8): Shame on West Virginia if it approves a bill that allows hunting education classes in public schools to become law. We should not use public schools to try to reverse the inexorable decline in the “sport” of hunting.

Most of Waldman’s Introduction, for example, is based on five photographs and drawings illustrating random, perhaps representational, examples of how New Yorkers relate to nature in the past (a shark is killed in the Gowanus Canal in 1950) and the present (the fight to re-install the nest of my spark bird, Pale Male).

I think he also doesn't know that not all of us think that chasing down Class B dealers is as important as working to shut down animal experimentation and create more alternatives. To view someone who spends their life starving, piercing, mutilating, terrifying and killing others as a mentor is shocking. But not shocked enough.

Philosophers make distinctions in order to focus attention on particular classes of things. You should survive as best you can, and killing the birds and eating them is the only way, given the situation as described. Would it be morally permissible for you to kill some people and eat them? For nonvegetarians the choice is easy.

Likening the pursuit of love – with all its delights and misfortunes – to the equally capricious excitement of the hunt is a metaphor that has undoubtedly existed since humankind first learned to kill its food, long ago in our Stone Age past. But perhaps no other age drew this comparison as frequently and strongly as did medieval Europe.

The high nutrient loading led to massive and unprecedented algal blooms which in turn killed productive plants and changed the once crystal-clear lake into pea soup.

Preference utilitarians count the killing of a being with a preference for continued life as worse than the killing of a being without any such preference. Then painlessly killing a pig while replacing it with another, equally happy pig is not wrong. Suppose pigs are non-self-conscious. Suppose humans are self-conscious.

That’s something that’s frowned on in science but if that Yellow Warbler was called Zippy McFlashersons that maybe would make them seem less like just some random bird that a cat killed and more along the lines of something special that’s important to birders.
