The pet aftercare industry remains largely unregulated, and veterinarians are often the only source of information that pet owners have when choosing pet aftercare providers. There are many considerations for a veterinarian when it comes to handling pet remains and interacting with the pet owner during this sensitive time.

But the seal industry doesn't care. While I'm not a fan of using animal hearts for transplants, I'm far more sympathetic to that than to simply using their parts for human vanity consumption. They'll exploit anything to try to save their barbaric trade and, if they can use guilt, even better. Excerpted from the Chronicle-Herald.

A friend of mine has this contraption called a Mosquito Magnet that uses carbon dioxide to attract and vacuum up mosquitoes from his yard. It works very well. He then takes all the dead mosquitos and puts them on a tray feeder for his feeder birds to eat. I’m not sure how many actually do, but it’s a nice idea.

Why does it not call for the abolition of factory farming? Instead, it seeks to reform it. Animal rights is neither progressive nor conservative.
