Hal Herzog’s “ Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat ” (Harper 2011), though fascinating, is ultimately depressing for vegans and animal rights activists. Over at Animal Rights and AntiOppression , we’ve been discussing tactics and sharing our thoughts and experiences about what works and doesn’t work when it comes to advocacy.

Because I've been thinking about the evolution of my own thinking--and languaging--regarding animal rights. Both animal rights groups and animal welfare groups use "compassion" frequently. Then again, so do people who kill animals for a living. After all, they "love" the animals they kill. The Nonviolent Carnivore"?

I know about the common mistakes people make when they find young birds, assuming that because they’re on the ground with no other birds in sight they must be abandoned or in need of rescue. Even though I was too ignorant to identify the bird, the intake volunteer on the desk recognized him right away.

When I see a band I imagine something slipping beneath it and trapping the bird, I’ve seen photos of birds with so many bands it looks like they’re wearing stockings, and then there’s the awful story of Violet , whose band eventually killed her. She was rescued, put back into her crate, and returned to the Raptor Trust.

The penguins are well cared for by the South African powers that be–the national parks system and the Southern African National Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds (SANCCOB), which rescues damaged penguins and other seabirds. The leopards place their kill in a tree, protecting it from poaching by other predators.

Please talk to us before you start to accuse us of not taking care of our cows, and making what one farmer who is not right the truth of everyone else. Are the humans providing Brian with something he is profiting from (maybe hard work, he'd say), and when they stop he will kill them? It's a relief to hear that Brian disapproves.

There is a profound difference between what Sea Shepherd does and what the Animal Liberation Front does, but there are also similarities, and those similarities increase in number if a direct action by the ALF (or anyone else) is an open rescue and therefore a direct defense of sentient nonhumans being attacked by humans. That's one result.

Let's deconstruct: The interview reminds me of how the industry views us and how little they know about the community of people who care about the lives of the animals brought into this world for one reason only: to kill and eat them.

On the traditional position, justification of vegetarianism was in terms of animal welfare, happiness, rights, and so on. In recent years another type of justification has been given: vegetarianism has been justified in terms of human suffering, rights, etc. Would it be morally permissible for you to kill some people and eat them?

If human beings were confined, mutilated and killed, would we call it “humane” if the cages were a few inches bigger, the knife sharper, the death faster? Animals rescued from so-called humane farming establishments have been found in horrific condition. That’s right, for me—but it may not be for others. Kristof’s column.
