So, maybe not be the best place to visit for monks suffering from depression. As in this quote by Mr. Andrew Breitbart: “Liberals in blue states just think that they are on the right side of history, and anybody that disagrees with them has to be a troglodyte or a neanderthal.”

Some, like the Oleaginous Hemispingus , suffer all three flaws. Geographic appellations definitely have their place; if you have Andean Teal on your life list, you almost certainly visited the Andes. fuligula is most definitely a Tufted Duck. Far too many bird names have confusing, misleading, or just plain dumb common names.

Formerly distributed across parts of southeastern Brazil from the state of Bahia to Rio de Janeiro, this Brazilian endemic suffered dramatic declines due to chronic loss of its lowland Atlantic forest habitat. Having a family of endangered Red-billed Curassow willingly approach me to within such a short distance is definitely one of them!

Another puzzling thing to me, as for me, the ideal number of people to live with would be somewhere between zero and one but definitely not above 1. I gave up my US citizenship a few years ago and looking at recent events such as “Right vs. Wrong”, it was one of my better decisions. End of side note. meters instead of 0.7

This is irksome, as the premise is that we need to save the animals (and which ones is an interesting discussion) because we will suffer if they are gone. The part that I definitely believe is laudable, and I can get behind, is in the final chapter: "Exploited to Extinction.".

My point is that being surrounded by the sights and smells of death and suffering isn't what I'd call "friendly" to me as a vegan. And by that definition, Morton's and Ruths Chris are both "vegan-friendly." So what does "vegan-friendly" really mean? I assume that's what it means.

Stephanie's post about " The Compassionate Hypocrite " on Saturday reminded me of what Catherine Friend and other " compassionate carnivores " are doing in addition to twisting the definition of compassionate beyond recognition. It's impersonal and hideously ugly and the animals suffer greatly. It's just not right. It's cruel.
