But it's also remarkable in that Roger Cohen, a 50-something man who writes for the New York Times, wonders: But do pigs have any more or less of a soul than dogs? Or pig, or duck, or fish. " Dog Days in China " is a small piece with no gruesome slideshow. Are they any more or less sentient? I was cold, wet and seeking refuge.

Between March and May, we say goodbye to more than half our duck and wood warbler species, as well as about half of all our shorebirds, vireos, hummingbirds, buntings, sparrows, and orioles, and many members of other avian families.

There is a rich assortment of Andean ducks, coots, and other waterfowl. Llamas and wild guinea pigs are also found here.

We don't say we hate pigs and want to see them writhing in pain and slaughtered. Pigs definitely don't get much respect from humans, but the evil (and I can't think of a better word and I don't mean it in a religious sense) I see around cat-haters is different. We don't say we hate cows. In fact we say we love them.

Out on one of the rocks that were visible during low tide, a small group of Harlequin Ducks had gathered. This is also the location of the great Pig War of 1872. Here is a small group of the Pigeon Guillemots near their rocky Cliffside nesting area. The Pigeon Guillemot is bringing a small fish for breakfast back to the nest.
