I received a call yesterday from a woman who started a coalition for homeless cats. The woman from the coalition knows and respects the vets at Pahokee, which of course isn't as good as my own vet being on the case, but I'm sure it'll all work out fine.

Do you agree with that?

In some sense, of course, many (perhaps most) humans don't know right from wrong. And perhaps my favorite: "[I]f healthy, homeless humans were rounded up and killed, no one would call the killing facilities 'shelters'" (55). Tags: Books Ethics Language. Smoke, eat, and drink themselves to death?
