On "Compassion," "Nonviolence" and "Justice"
Animal Person
NOVEMBER 18, 2009
Both animal rights groups and animal welfare groups use "compassion" frequently. Compassion" has been so diluted that most people don't bat an eyelash at the idea of " compassionate carnivores." Because I've been thinking about the evolution of my own thinking--and languaging--regarding animal rights.

Teaching Kids Animal Compassion
4 The Love Of Animals
AUGUST 30, 2011
Choosing the right pet for your child is key. By Dr. Tim Hunt, DVM. Children can learn so many valuable lessons by caring for a pet. Having pets at a young age instills kids with a sense of confidence that they can take care of an animal and help it to live a thriving life. More importantly I find pets can be great therapy for kids.

DECEMBER 14, 2008
Quantico Military Base is really behaving cruelly when it comes to the feral cats on its base. They've prohibited feeding and want the animals trapped. If they are not adoptable, oh well, kill them. It is NOT the animals' fault that they have been abandoned to miserable lives. (Of

Labor Day & Hummingbird Feeders

SEPTEMBER 7, 2011
Some hummingbirds get off course–perhaps a young bird is hatched with an odd internal compass or has hit a window one too many times and heads east or north instead of south with the rest of the gang and you get odd ducks showing up in unexpected areas. Nectar that is offered now is a bonus on their southward journey.

They may have no idea what they’re doing, but their compassion overrides their doubt. We love the public because there are good Samaritans who will find an injured or orphaned wild creature and go out of their way – sometimes way, way out of their way – to help. And sometimes they even give us money, which elevates them to sainthood.
