Many essays, especially in the later sections, end with a question, hopefully getting us to think more about questions of ethics, conservation, and the puzzles posed by nature. There is also quite a bit of discipline in these essays; it’s a lot harder to write a very short, personal yet informative piece than to ramble on and on.

Juluri is referring to something specific: the Supreme Court's examination of First Amendment protection of acts of cruelty to animals. And finally, who is to decide when a video is entertaining versus informative? And the article is worth reading just for that. What do you think?

He is an unabashed speciesist, putting humans on “a different moral plane from that of other animals” (11) due to various reasons, such as our “vastly greater capacity for symbolic language, culture, and ethical judgment” (11).

Dear Keith, I work with Wesleyan University Professor Scott Plous (founder of Social Psychology Network), and I'm writing to let you know of a new web site related to animal protection.

The reasonable rates really do not adequately reflect both the level of comfort and the personalized service ethic. Frank runs very informative and productive day-trips from the lodge. But this does not mean that we as birders have to sacrifice comfort for a fatter wallet! Paradise in Portugal is a perfect example of this.

Very little information was available at the time, so we hired a car and off we went, following the few tips we had managed to gather but mostly our noses. Although this park was logged in the past, as a national park it is one of the few forests in Ghana that is really protected. . And wow, what a trip we had!
