On Cat Killers and Mental Competency

Animal Person

Felony animal cruelty is the cruel killing of an animal, and he is also being charges with 19 counts of improperly disposing of an animal body.) The four counts of burglary he is being charged with carry a heftier sentence than the animal killing. And people who want to kill those they cannot control scare me.

On Wearable "Roadkill"

Animal Person

Angus sent me a link to " Animal Parts: High Style of Just Plain Beastly " wherein Zosia Bielski reports that "hipsters are going whole hog, donning road kill as accessories and cow hooves on their feet.".

Roger Cohen Realizes Dogs=Pigs, Sort Of

Animal Person

There is a rational, and for some people a spiritual, case for being a vegetarian: Killing animals is wrong. But as Cohen experiences, humans don't live "in theory." It's great that someone realizes that there is no real difference between dogs and cows. Do they suffer any more or less in death? I think not. The theory is sound.
