That leaves us with animal welfare, which I do think we are genuinely interested in, mostly because of the myriad videos, documentaries, books and websites that have made it tough to avoid over the past few years.

In fact, both books glorify small farms (though Foer is more selective), and both have the support of people who create and kill animals.

If you don't have to enslave, rape, dominate, or kill someone (or have someone else do it for you), why would you? Why choose enslavement, rape, domination and slaughter?

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. The HSUS isn't even anti-hunting ! Parker uses the term "anti-modern farming activists," which is new to me.

But there is a significant contingent who is not as enamored with the Laboratory Animal Welfare Act as he is.

Farm animals also benefit from the humane farming movement, even if the animal welfare changes it effects are not all that we should hope and work for. To the Editor: Soon after I read Gary Steiner’s article, my wife asked me to kill a spider, which I did. This made me feel guilty. It is hard to imagine where a line can be drawn.
