4 The Love Of Animals

OCTOBER 8, 2010

A New York Times story that ran in 2001 about a homeless dog wandering around a suburban part of New York City, struck a chord with me. It took nine years for my picture book, THE BLUE HOUSE DOG, (Peachtree Publishers/August 1, 2010) to come out. The boy was wounded by his loss, just as the homeless dog was wounded when his owner died.

And the morning before the Mkuze pack of Painted Wolves, or African Wild Dogs, had been very close to one of the park’s few Lions, as far as tracking collars had told. We hadn’t been on the road long before a shout went out that a dog had been seen, and we quickly turned back, and there was my first Painted Wolf in Mkuze.

Animal Ethics

SEPTEMBER 20, 2010

Certainly a strange mode of justification is offered along the lines of interpreting animals as weaker members of the community, as individuals who cannot protect their own interests, and who therefore need the sort of protection extended to others such as children, lunatics, etc., who cannot protect their interests.

if they see a mistreated dog, and shudder to see a wounded deer in the road. The federal government needs to recommit itself to putting boots on the ground in America and elsewhere to inspect and protect our food supply. The live feed can be monitored by any and all who are willing to watch. I think most would, enthusiastically.
