It's an especially ridiculous concept because the vegans in modern western society would not be able to maintain their living standards without the exploitation of dirt-poor humans in third world countries across the globe.

It’s also about human-owl interaction on an individual level and a wider sociocultural level, and ultimately how we can use all this for habitat and bird conservation.

Also, four years ago you couldn't put a Google search button on your blog to search only the contents of your blog. I understand the impulse to do " something " that alters the number of animals created to be used and killed and the suffering of the ones created.

I’d been volunteering at rescues through my young adulthood, and I was training as a cat socializer, teaching terrified felines — the unlucky victims of cruel people — to trust humans again. All of these afflictions are human-caused and largely preventable. One typical, blue-sky, L.A. I was mortified. And, I would have understood.

Excuse the sudden and random departure from the typical self-aggrandizing and narcissistic ornithophilic content. Yes, of course it is too bad that so many animals (most often rats, mice and rabbits) have to be killed. That will return next month. – The Great Ornithologist Felonious Jive Animal rights. .

Yes, some gruesome graphic content follows, but don’t blame me, you have been warned.

According to this argument, the view that eating the meat of nonhuman animals is morally permissible but eating the meat of human beings is morally forbidden is analogous to racism or sexism.

Charlie was never more content than when she was perched on my shoulder, her wing pressed against my neck and cheek. No human can divine what a mated pair of geese or eagles may feel for one another, but stories abound of birds,especially Canada Geese , who spurned all offers from members of the opposite sex for years after a mate was killed.
