It saddens me, and I find it extremely disturbing, that a five-year old child is giddy, and his parents (and the journalists on this program) are so pleased that he killed a 35-40-year old alligator. Let's deconstruct a few details: The young boy shot the alligator, who had been trapped , in the head and killed him.

I have never been one to advocate the needless killing of animals for whatever purpose. Consider the following quote, &# Falconry involves the use of birds of prey to kill other birds and animals for sport. In the case of fox hunting (a true bloodsport), dogs are domesticated animals that are killing, not for food, but for sport.

I tried soaking it (I soak the dogs' kibble) but she wouldn't eat it. I bought a new laser light and my husband and I have committed to using it every day and getting her to sprint around the house (away from the dogs-don't worry) for at least 15 minutes/day.

E.g. I remember trying to enter my local scrubland once, just across the car park behind the last apartment building and there, awaiting me, was a territorial pack of stray dogs barking at an intruder – me. Attempting to bluff the bear in believing that they were even bigger bears, Hoshino suggested raising their hands, to appear taller.

Some might argue that Keith has simply become an advocate of “happy meat”—local, grass-fed, sustainably produced, and humanely raised meat. And with regard to killing in order to survive, there's a difference between "killing" a carrot and killing a cow, whom you know is just as sentient as your dog or your child.

However, the solution they have created, which harkens back to before industrialized agriculture, is simply to still raise animals for their flesh and secretions, and for profit, but to do it the old-fashioned way. I wouldn't do it to a dog, and I shouldn't do it to a chicken/sheep/cow/pig. No argument here. It's just not right.

But I have to think about which words I focus on, and whether they're going to help me in my quest to get more people to stop killing nonhuman animals/having them killed when they don't need to. I say don't start talking about terms that mean nothing to them or using language that might alienate them. But that's me.

And the absurdity is in the reality that the author and the featured person who kills sentient nonhumans for a living, think they're onto something. While plenty of people pay attention to the question of what it means to raise an animal humanely, far fewer stop to consider the notion—and the ostensible paradox—of humane slaughter."

It has been a humbling 17 days as I walk the dogs early, shower, and get gussied up to sit in traffic for 1.5 Trying to program kids to accept the killing of someone they love is cruel. Imagine if kids in 4-H were taught how to raise dogs for dogfighting (not a perfect analogy, I know). Those messages aren't aligned.

Who Should Not Eat Meat, or What Does a Vegetarian Feed His Dog? Since animals cannot be judged morally praiseworthy or blameworthy, the question of whether it is morally wrong for them to eat meat cannot be raised. To see this, imagine animal-control officers putting a dog into their vehicle. Not necessarily.

Ethical vegetarianism is the thesis that killing and eating animals is morally wrong whenever equally nutritious plant-based alternatives are available. A brief look at the public outcry concerning Michael Vick’s dog-fighting ring shows just how widely accepted premise (1) is. Nor ought we kill them without reason.

We kill so many living creatures when we build a house, construct a road, drive down that road or just walk on a path. But even then if we were to survive we would have to kill some animals in self-defense.

I once knew a guy who kept and raised cats. This is approximated by the size of the animal, but really, this has to be adjusted for depending on modality of killing. Dogs are similarly dispersed across size ranges, with Foxes, Coyotes, and Wolves taking prey across different parts of the size range. Unless we put them there.

Not only are they killed in cruel ways, but it is well documented that they are raised in ways that cause them great discomfort and agony. The question that must be raised, however, is how the conclusion not to eat meat follows from this. In fact, animals used for food do suffer a great deal.
