Hannah Buschert was first exposed to birds and birding during a required ornithology course at Oregon State University and she quickly caught the birding bug. After securing our passage, I patiently waited for this once-in-a-lifetime experience to a place we have never been and lacked any knowledge of, we were in for a complete surprise.

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? Why kill and maim and waste taxpayer dollars--or any dollars--on such things? My objection is: Why do such research when you don't need to? This is where I'm confused.

Second, if the people who believe this would eat all of their "meat" unseasoned and raw, after having killed the source animal with their bare hands and ripped open the carcass with nothing but said hands and some teeth, I'd feel like maybe their argument was at least sincere. We simply cannot survive without killing them!

When in the position of having the choice, which so far is always, I'd rather choose not to have someone killed for me. Of course, the world outside of our home tells a different story. This is a tough one to even dignify as it's not a good reason for killing someone. But they always have their desire to not be killed.
