A poisoned rodent can kill whatever eats it, and death by poison is a very bad way to go. In 2004 – more than 20 years later – the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) had to sue EPA in order to get them to do anything about it. Four years later, EPA gave poison manufacturers three more years (are you adding this all up?)

This one addresses the decreasing number of dogs and cats being experimented on and, without mentioning it, discusses speciesism and our affection for dogs--pet dogs particularly (and especially purebreds)--which leads to our revulsion with the idea of snatching, vivisecting and killing them. Why should we euthanize Clayton and start over?

The fact that geese mate for life, and that the mate of the poor goose that was slaughtered would step forward, was enough to make me swear off meat forever, if I hadn’t already. Since our food is delivered to us on a bun or in big bags of frozen parts, it’s easy to eat it and not think about what it was or how it was killed.
