It was, I suggest, to a large extent because he felt that the noblest feature of humanity is the capacity to be self-governing, to adopt principles without being influenced by sensuous motives and then to live by them whatever the contingencies. For Kant, then, worthy acts are (given human fallibility) a proper subset of right acts.

First, the 13th Amendment was designed to abolish human chattel slavery. The right is defeasible, of course, as it is in the case of humans. The right is defeasible, of course, as it is in the case of humans. Applying it to nonhuman animals is a stretch. Nonhuman animals can suffer. Dentists make people suffer.)

There’s a lot more, of course, and it all makes you wonder if we should have bird feeders or urban green spaces or fountains or windows. Did the model work? 119), it’s clear from his comments that the scientific community still tends to put bird collisions on the sidelines. It’s not a bad idea.

The degree of restriction placed on human behavior, furthermore, is relatively slight. Whereas it once used to be argued, as by Newman , that the least human good compensates for any possible amount of animal suffering, the current doctrine is that it requires a considerable good to compensate for such suffering.

I very much enjoyed the first section, which relates the history of the bird and its relationship with us, humans, from its discovery in 1851 up to the fateful Lake Mack fire and its aftermath in the 1980’s. Rapai is clearly fascinated by Leopold’s life, and frankly, so was I. Get ready to contribute to the Kirtland Warbler’s Trust Fund.

In " 'Animal Rights:' Pernicious Nonsense for Both Law & Public Policy ," Massachusetts attorney and "sportsman" Richard Latimer is on the mark with some concepts, and way off with others. I think he's the anti-human person full of self hatred, and this is a case of projection. What on earth would even give him that idea?

Thus, since both animals and humans feel pain, animal rights advocates believe that what is done to an animal should be judged morally as if it were done to a human being. Animal-rights advocates do not believe "that what is done to an animal should be judged morally as if it were done to a human being."

When humans arrived, with the entourage of camp followers that always follows humans, giving up the anti-predator behavious and, well, you can guess what happened next. In a few places mammals and humans may endure, but even there, rails will become island species, albeit ones that retain some anti-predator strategies.

As I mentioned last week, my wife, son, and daughter-in-law spent much of the month of October in Europe. Mallards were, of course, everywhere water could be found. Mute Swans seem equally adapted to human presence in Europe. Pochards have the most adorable way of feeding, jumping a bit out of the water before diving in.

They were not aware of wildlife laws, and thought they could raise and release them. They bring us gifts daily – garbage, of course, marbles they surely stole from some poor child, water bottles, even car parts. For a while I was afraid they were too friendly and might turn to humans if they needed food, but I’ve seen no sign of that.

Of course, the same applies to pizza services for humans.

“Spooked” is a bit of a strong word as I was very likely the first human this bird had ever seen and it stuck around for quite a while merely five metres away from me. I decided to go for my very first visual pitta encounter, a Hooded Pitta I spooked next to the trail. This is a nighthawk in Delaware but, you know what?
