10,000 Birds

NOVEMBER 27, 2014

Locals being vegetarians, why are there no birds? These birds even lay their eggs on piles of cow or horse dung, most likely to elevate them from the cold ground and possibly provide some heating through the process of rotting plant material. Frantic search – Peter is even running by the canal, scanning the fields occasionally.

Besides being food, ground squirrels can be friends to birds — most notably the Burrowing Owl , who relies on these and other digging mammals for nesting sites — or foes, when they perk up their diet with eggs and young from ground nests.

To the Editor: Re “ Egg Producers and Humane Society Urging Federal Standard on Hen Cages ” (Business Day, July 8): I’m a vegetarian who turned vegan after coming to terms with the fact that just because I was eating hormone-free, antibiotic-free, even free-range organic eggs didn’t mean that egg-producing hens were living a cruelty-free life.

I suspect that many regular readers of Animal Ethics are already vegetarians. That's because those who read Animal Ethics with regularity know that there are many compelling reasons to adopt a vegetarian lifestyle. a vegetarian diet is associated with a lower risk of death from ischemic heart disease.

He always refers to himself and his wife and his child as "vegetarian." Yet he spends time describing the miserable deaths of day-old male chicks and understands what happens in dairy production, and I assume he doesn't partake of anyone's eggs or milk. But why does he say "vegetarian?"

Thompson has only shown his unfamiliarity with the subject, for his novel proposition is in fact an old one, which has been debated and rejected by the Vegetarian Society in its adherence to its original rule of excluding fish, flesh and fowl, and nothing else, from its dietary.

Cholesterol is found only in foods derived from animals, like meat, cheese and eggs. All food that comes from plants is cholesterol-free, so a vegetarian or vegan diet does wonders for lowering cholesterol levels. That is when I went vegetarian. My cholesterol levels have always made my doctors happy.

Or bake some vegan cookies for a vegetarian friend who's convinced that she cannot survive without eggs and butter. Or educate my neighbors about the alternatives to poker at the dog track (and of course, about dog racing). I think that vegan is worth fighting for as a word.

And the wife says that one thing the family does is eat less meat and eggs (and they raise the animals on their land), but even that is glossed over. And in the pre and post show (that I saw), even in the interviews with the celebrities who are known vegetarians (I know, I know, they're not vegans.),

In my opinion, and I am a vegetarian, the second definition of humane is the MINIMAL that we should expect. And if you ever drive around an egg farm, hog farm, slaughterhouse, feeding lot, etc., In other words, the proverbial happy farm animal. The eventual kill is quick, clean, and painless. There are many gruesome pictures too.

Perhaps in order to qualify for a moral elite one should become a heroic vegetarian like Peter Singer. I eat eggs though they may come from battery hens. I am myself not so heroic.

which may be called the Consistency Trick—akin to that known in common parlance as the tu quoque or "you're another"—the device of setting up an arbitrary standard of "consistency," and then demonstrating that the Vegetarian himself, judged by that standard, is as "inconsistent" as other persons.

In my 40s, I became a vegetarian because I was saving sick and injured birds, and I just couldn’t eat them and save them. Egg production, including on free-range farms, entails the mass killing of newborn male chicks, a point made in Nicholas D. At 14, as I started making my own choices, my eating habits began to change.

Most interesting for me was the mental lock most people have that we vegans are always looking to break or find the key to: Why do good people who understand what happens to animals for unnecessary products such as “steak” or eggs, continue to consume such things? The answer, throughout the entire 300 pages, essentially is: Because they do.

Unlike birds, they do not vocalize; unlike butterflies, they are totally predatory, not a vegetarian amongst them. Common and differing traits will include type of coloring, thorax patterning, how they perch or fly, how they copulate, and how they oviposit, lay eggs. With odonates, there are always exceptions!
