The animals on farms are created for the sole purpose of human consumption. I don't know if these people are serious or not, but though we are not unique in the animal world in demonstrating morality, we vegans and animal rights advocates do not concern ourselves with the moral codes of other species. Yes, that's true.

Reading thousand-word long posts in black type on a plain white screen with nothing interesting to look at isn't exactly a satisfying sensory experience. As for categories, I never got that one right, either. I didn't do the right thing for Animal Person. Every blogger's goal is to have their blog read, right?

Masson tells Benjy's story--and Benjy stories--while explaining his theory about the mutual domestication of dogs and humans. You may know that dog/human coevolution has been a popular topic in the past decade, and if so, this might help: Masson "takes E. The point is that, as Chapter 3 is titled, "Dogs Make Us Human."

There are moral reasons to go vegetarian: recognition that it is wrong to contribute to unnecessary animal suffering the injustice of exploiting animals and killing them for no good reason If human have rights, then many nonhuman animals also have rights, and confining and killing these animals for food violates these rights.

I' m concerned about Maple Farm Sanctuary , whose founders are two of the seven subjects in our new film , and I was wondering if you'd be willing to reach out through your blog to let people know that the sanctuary is in a financial tight spot right now. It was clear that Willie wanted nothing more than human contact and affection.

It is not just a few outspoken animal rights fanatics who hold this view. Even the most ardent defenders of the morality of using animals for food and as “tools” in scientific experiments admit that premises (1) and (2) are true and acknowledge that (1) and (2) capture something central to our moral relationship to animals.

Eat right. What counts as eating right? Eat right—I will eat a diet low in fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium, and high in complex carbohydrates and fiber; and I will limit my consumption of empty calories like those found in sweets, soda pop, and trendy high-calorie coffee drinks. Lose weight. Quit smoking.

There is a general consensus that vegetarianism and veganism are different philosophically. The underlying premise is that you can know what is right (such as me knowing what's right then eating cow flesh in the form of filet mignon for a year), but that by no means will necessarily manifest in your behavior. How about this?

The reason we need to save the gorillas and their habitats (it's a book on gorilla "conservation") is--and this is from memory so there could be more--that gorillas have thumbs, just like humans do. All animals except the dog are called "it" (I did a little experiment to see what would happen). That makes sense to me.

I'm not one of those people who thinks family is composed of only humans or humans who are biologically related. Just ask former cattle rancher Howard Lyman , who is now a vegan and animal rights activist. That's one of the reasons adopting wasn't a stretch for me at all mentally.

Vegan vegetarians who eat only vegetables, fruit, and nuts do not completely remove all microorganisms from their food, even with repeated cleaning. If some microorganisms must be killed in the process, this is unfortunate but necessary for human life. Why should microorganisms be sacrificed rather than humans?

Because we planned to adopt I had been researching eco-friendly, vegan nursery items but had yet to purchase a thing. I did go to Babies-R-Us for some odds and ends and here's the Animal Person-related experience. Emily has taken to sleeping right next to wherever Sky is. Animals are all over the place at Babies-R-Us.
