Here's what they say about Trader Joe's eggs (definitely does not sound humane to me.) Trader Joe's, a national specialty grocer, offers a large range of vegan and soy products. Tags: eggs consumption farm animal welfare groceries. I looked online and all I could find was this article on The Vegetarian Site.

I watched Home earlier in the week and you can watch it on YouTube here , though a huge flat screen is definitely preferable. As I've written previously, I never pushed him to go vegan, and now that he is I don't push him to do any vegan education. Important differences between Home and Winged Migration. But that's me.

Particularly when vegans and animal rights advocates are a tiny percentage of the population, some find it necessary and desirable to go to a place where they are among friends (for the most part). We humans can't even agree on what happened in the past. I guess this is more about definitive statements.

Being vegan because you want to live as nonviolently as possible and you don't want to contribute to violence and you don't want to respond to violence with violence is admirable to some, though refusing to support the defense of sentient nonhumans when you probably would if they were humans bothers me.

We are not people who are interested in discussing animal rights, as in, the right of sentient nonhumans to not be used by humans for potential profit, for sport or for lunch. Maybe "humane" is already on its way out for the folks trying to convince themselves and others that humane killing isn't an oxymoron. That's respect.

In the majority of cases, it is humans who are to blame for the plunging numbers of animals, and Corwin is very clear about the extent to which we have destroyed the world around us. The part that I definitely believe is laudable, and I can get behind, is in the final chapter: "Exploited to Extinction.".

If I told you what I spent last year doing work-wise, you probably wouldn't believe me and you'd definitely suggest I write a book about it. Vetsulin was the perfect new product, except for the fact that it's animal (pig) based, unlike human insulins, and then there was the problem with quality control that was first reported last year.
