Falcon Wild is a new book in that long tradition, and this one features a more realistic (though still very slightly romanticized) portrait of a human/animal partnership. Stark, a white Gyrfalcon , is a falconry bird born and raised.

Riddle me this: Why would any human animal use as a default position that nonhuman animals do not have personalities as rich, distinct, obnoxious, obsequious and varied as human animals? Have they not ever observed nonhuman animals? We're all animals, aren't we? We're sentient. Or "even" obnoxious?

It's difficult for me to understand how the act of thanking a god, who likely doesn't even exist, would matter to the nonhuman animal who is killed for the crime of being a nuisance to a human animal. Whether or not someone appreciates the taste of my flesh after they have killed me doesn't matter to me.

And animal rights isn't focused on what happens in the world outside of us that we aren't directly profiting from and that isn't happening because of us (that last one is nearly impossible, as you can trace many problems other animals experience back to something human animals have done to them or their habitat or their food).

Like humans, animals have a right to enjoy life. They will still lack the freedom to engage in natural behaviors like foraging and nesting. Most will never know sunlight, breezes, plants or soil. At our farm sanctuary, we see how much chickens rescued from factory farms delight in these experiences.

After all, many activists don't support the use of the same tactics they'd approve of to liberate human animals to liberate nonhuman animals. There's no good reason to lack confidence that animals who possess a brain are sentient (134). I'm not saying it's not speciesist, but that I understand it.

There was no meaningful discussion about our inefficient use of resources (grain and water) in the feeding of animals to kill to feed people. With regard to cruelty and suffering, it's clear from the film that the human animal has been profoundly negatively affected by climate change, but there is no attention given to nonhuman animals.

Perhaps she would argue that there is no double standard, i.e., that there is a morally relevant difference between human animals and nonhuman animals that justifies the difference in treatment. Are the lives of nonhuman animals less important, to them, than your life is to you? I can't imagine what it is.

Finally, until we as a society develop a collective objection to killing human animals who have committed atrocities, we are unlikely to develop such an objection to killing nonhuman animals. But that doesn't mean we should work toward abolishing the death penalty first, and then move to the case of animals.
