Abby, I too get very upset by stories and images of what occurs every second of every day to nonhumans and humans alike. Thanks so much.

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?"

That system may treat sentient animals like car parts, ruin antibiotics we need for human medicine, and destroy rural communities by polluting our air and water, but at least it’s “efficient” (a word Mr. Hurst hammers three times).

In terms of welfare (i.e., What we should be concerned with is not the gap between "rich" dogs and "poor" dogs, but the absolute welfare level of dogs. What's important is welfare. Now let's focus on human beings. overall well-being), there is great inequality among dogs. Some, such as my niece's Tag, are utterly spoiled.

Kristof, who takes note of the trend represented by the animal welfare proposition on the ballot in California this fall. We pay lip service to more humane treatment of the animals that we eat, but how many of us look beyond the label on the package of chicken cutlets? Mr. Kristof is attuned to issues of human suffering and injustice.

In the past I have attributed some of this conflict to differences between the conservation mindset and that of animal rights/animal welfare. The way things should be is a very powerful motivating factor in human lives. I still think that distinction is important, but it isn’t sufficient to explain what is going on here.

The interests of those working for conservation and those working for animal rights and animal welfare don’t always perfectly align like you might think they do. With no permanent habitation inside its boundaries, human disturbance is low. Lions are a resource, and one to be managed and protected.
