Bea sent me a link to an article in Gourmet called " Humane Slaughterhouses ," by Rebecca Marx, that is absurd. And they were, before they stopped their train of thought prior to it reaching its most important station. They believe you can take a life that doesn't want to be taken in a humane way, and I don't agree.

Archaeology has demonstrated that humans were crafting collars for their animals at least 7000 years ago and the possibility that this is a conservative estimate is large. They typically provide a metal loop to attach a leash or lead and a smaller ring below the chin to hang an id tag. By Augie Berings, Bering’s Hardware.

We humans, herbivores like ruminants, are fine with one stomach -- we don't eat the really tough stuff like grass. Unlike many humans, they don't burden their bodies with flesh they didn't evolve to eat or factory stuff like hydrogenated oils or tooth-eroding sugar & acid concoctions unless given them by humans.)

By year three, the adults were practicing the eagle equivalent of human “hover parenting.” It really looked like a game of tag. I wondered why the dominant juvenile would even want to train its weaker sibling. Eventually the weaker juvenile flew to be with its loud sibling. What was the incentive?

Presumably it would include all human beings, whether they are in the habit of eating animals or not. In the case of human beings, the situation is different. Human beings can do without meat.

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?"

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? Why is human life more valued than the life of microorganisms? One might be inclined to say that human beings are more valuable because of their intelligence.

Because when you compare two species, or rather a nonhuman animal species to the human animal, the humans almost always come out on top. The social life of dogs is much more complex, much more like human teenagers at that stage, interested in who is moving up in the pack and who is sleeping with who and that sort of thing.
