A few patient individuals chose to respond to Spencer R, and I'd like to deconstruct his comment and add my own response because what he writes isn't uncommon in its tone or its content. We are people who believe that using animals when we don't need to, and certainly killing them when we don't need to, isn't right.

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.

This is approximated by the size of the animal, but really, this has to be adjusted for depending on modality of killing.

Excuse the sudden and random departure from the typical self-aggrandizing and narcissistic ornithophilic content.

They are also threatened by cultural beliefs that lead to killing them because they’re seen as harbingers of death and bad luck. There is good reason for the interviews, beyond simply amassing information, and this becomes clear in the final chapter, the Afterward, about conservation. They are also hunted.

What is amazing is that each of these three books is very different in content and tone. Fuller has not preached about the evils of the human practices that killed and dislocated the Passenger Pigeon; he hasn’t moaned and groaned or sentimentalized. It wasn’t just the mass killings in so many ways.

Similarly, although there are differences between human beings and other animals, there are no moral differences that justify human beings’ killing and eating animals but not killing and eating one another.
