Because I've been thinking about the evolution of my own thinking--and languaging--regarding animal rights. 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." Is it fair?

One complaint many of us have with "liberals" and "progressives" is that they tend to leave veganism and animal rights out of their sphere of concern.

But the ease with which we can tell our stories and post our videos must not render us incapable of moral judgment and decency. Free Speech may be a noble ideal, but perhaps we are better served by thinking of it not only as a right but also as a privilege. They certainly depict cruelty to animals, right? What do you think?

Kristof’s thoughtful exploration of animal rights, I was astonished to read that he continues to eat animals, like geese and pigs, for which he obviously has such affection and respect. Doesn’t he realize that he does not have to engage in this voluntary activity, which causes moral conflict for himself and suffering for the animals?

And though I did almost all of the work at the start, I'm frankly not sure why I'm even involved right now. I'm proud to say that Project Treadstone is a nearly-well-oiled machine thanks to the compassion and willingness to help that I have encountered by almost everyone I've encountered regarding the cats at the site.

Here’s a tidbit from the NRA’s Hunters’ Rights website: “Sandhill cranes are hunted much like geese, with decoys set in fields and hunters stationed in blinds. You may not agree with it… but for millions of people across this nation hunting is a moral thing to do. Wicked, right? Thanks for visiting!
