Formed in 2007, this organization seeks to promote the humane treatment of animals by promoting effective animal sanctuary management. Led by professionals who have experience with organizations such as the Humane Society of the United States, the group is definitely not new to the issues surrounding animals worldwide.

A federal judge for the first time in US history has heard arguments in a case that could determine whether animals enjoy the same constitutional protection against slavery as human beings. Sea World's lawyer, Theodore Shaw, called the lawsuit a waste of the court's time and resources. Excerpted from the Sydney Morning Herald.

Around the world NGOs and governments are working to ensure that people can extract benefits from natural resources in ways that benefit both. All the resources we consume come from nature.

I know he's a conservationist, therefore I know he will advocate for "managing" the "resources" that are sentient nonhumans. In the majority of cases, it is humans who are to blame for the plunging numbers of animals, and Corwin is very clear about the extent to which we have destroyed the world around us.

However, any breed of dog that has been abused, neglected, or homeless may be aggressive to humans or other dogs. Pit Bull Rescue Central (PBRC) is a great resource for pit bull owners and those that find a homeless or lost pit bull. It may feel threatened, and animals that feel threatened instinctually protect themselves.

Is the nature of nature a raw struggle for resources, or an elegant interlocking community in which every member plays a role? Are humans a part of nature or a force (sometimes benevolent, more often destructive) that acts upon it? Is nature a place for solemn education and reflection? For adventure and danger?

I remember taking an advanced seminar in plant-animal interaction, in preparation for my own study of human-plant interactions. Some of our greatest human pleasures come from those toxins, and I’m not just talking about various narcotics, though there is always that. Insects ruled. One way to do that is to be toxic.

Not all habitat change is due to humans; there is Chestnut Blight destroying American Chestnuts in the early 1900s, and the more recent Dutch Elm disease. The recommendations will sound familiar to any birder or naturalist who wants to protect and improve her local patch: Immediately shut down cat feeding stations.

But if you're on the outside, and you're hostile to the idea of respecting the natural lives of sentient nonhumans and you see them only as resources to be managed, might you have a similar idea? I think he's the anti-human person full of self hatred, and this is a case of projection. What on earth would even give him that idea?

For Engber, who dispassionately describes procedures most of the time, the "advances" in the medical care of humans are all well worth what he and other vivisectionists do to dogs and other sentient nonhumans. By the end of my time as researcher, I was performing behavioral experiments on humans. It "guarantees humane treatment?"

Another advantage to ballistic food transport is that the fruit seeds are protected from damage when they are swallowed whole.
