Its good looks definitely earn it many doggie points. This dog definitely seems quite great to people for its tiny size. With that lustrous mane and coat, accessories can definitely not take a back seat. Mad over Maltese. . These tiny fluff balls will make you laugh out loud and drive you crazy. Best friend and protective- pampering parent, you will have to switch roles and shift gears with these sprightly creatures before blinking an eyelid. MORE
It wasn't long before The Humane Emperor came on the scene, and is still around, telling folks that with a little mental acrobatics you can include forcible breeding, captivity, separation of family, killing of day-old chicks, and of course, untimely death in the definition of "humane." The Humane Myth debunks any definition of humane farming you can create, though, and it would help animals enormously if we coached more people in the deconstructing of the notion of humane. MORE
Take the test: if you laugh at least twice, you are definitely a birder. Jason Kessler is back with the funniest birding movie of the year.

Charles is definitely with me in spirit, but I don't know if there is a spirit.

The part that I definitely believe is laudable, and I can get behind, is in the final chapter: "Exploited to Extinction.". When I was asked if I wanted to read Jeff Corwin's 100 HEARTBEATS (Rodale 2009) I was ambivalent. I know he's a conservationist, therefore I know he will advocate for "managing" the "resources" that are sentient nonhumans.

This is definitely a situation that could have been stopped early on. This is a good article about the puppy mills operated by a Western Washington woman and her parents. She kept being given "one more chance" with the end result of about 600 dogs finally being seized from the establishments. How much suffering and death resulted from this family's practices? The article is particularly thorough and damning. MORE

She has definitely slowed down, but she looks great and has perked up a bit now that it's regularly under 90 degrees and the humidity decreases by the week. Saturday was the one-year anniversary of the tragic death of my Charles Hobson Booger, III and it got me thinking about how easy he was to love. Everyone loved him. Okay, not everyone. There was that little Westie whose vulva he bit early on. Yes, vulva. No stitches, no puncture, but still a nasty bruise and some scratches. MORE
My definition of violence would begin with the physical harm of living beings. Why all the quotation marks? Because I've been thinking about the evolution of my own thinking--and languaging--regarding animal rights. Both animal rights groups and animal welfare groups use "compassion" frequently. Then again, so do people who kill animals for a living. Compassion" has been so diluted that most people don't bat an eyelash at the idea of " compassionate carnivores." MORE

I watched Home earlier in the week and you can watch it on YouTube here , though a huge flat screen is definitely preferable. On the animal front, there is definitely a message that factory farming is unsustainable, and that subsistence farming is and was preferable; there is a vague if-we-did-it-differently-it-might-be-sustainable message.

As long as they allow offshore oil drilling, a massive spill is a definite possibility. They should fear oil spills because, I'm sorry, Canada is not the best in terms of environmental safeguards, laws or requirements. They've had oil spills before, but nowhere near the scale of the one in the Gulf of Mexico. The industry is not as developed, but it's heading in that direction.
