The conversations with family and friends have already begun about "Turkey Day." And of course if you correct someone and say "Dead Turkey Day," you're "buzzkill," or imposing your beliefs or being judgmental. I haven't had a Thanksgiving with family members in years. I don't know, maybe 20 years of experience.

And more important is that those storytellers include people who ran small, family operations that animal welfare advocates would not have a problem with. My experiences are unlike any of the film's subjects. Perhaps the best feature of the film is the various voices telling a similar story. For all of us.

Not the day, the film, where Bill Murray experiences the same day over and over again. Of course, what they are talking about and how they are changing their behavior is very frustrating for someone who doesn't believe we should be using animals at all. There are few animal rights stories in the news. People are talking. And acting.

Is it true that the least I can do is support the engineering of animals who experience less unpleasantness than they would have had they not been engineered that way? Like when they're about to be, say, slaughtered? What about being torn from your family? This is where I'm confused. What about boredom and frustration?

Thanksgiving 2010 will be Baby Sky's first, and our opportunity to introduce her to the notion that our family doesn't eat animals (not to mention that other historical story we'll be correcting). Of course, the world outside of our home tells a different story. But we can bring our story to that world. Because it tastes good.

They are not necessarily the biggest African animals, but represented those that were considered a real hunter’s worthy prey or “game” – the African Elephant, Cape Buffalo, Black Rhinoceros, Leopard and king of the jungle, the Lion (which of course doesn’t inhabit jungle but savanna!).

Beloved family pet Dalmatian, Pepper, is stolen, and after several weeks of searching is discovered to have been experimented on at a hospital and died on the table when researchers tried to implant her with an experimental cardiac pacemaker. By the end of my time as researcher, I was performing behavioral experiments on humans.
