Thanks, once again, to James LaVeck and Jenny Stein of Tribe of Heart for kindly and carefully bringing attention to what should be a stunningly-obvious moment of hypocrisy by groups that exist to advocate for and save animals. I understand how someone who supports the Humane Society of the United States might think an event celebrating "humane" farms would be a good id, as HSUS isn't an animal rights organization.
Cute of the Day: in like a lamb?
4 The Love Of Animals
FEBRUARY 21, 2010
It’s not that far away now, but will it be in like a lamb? If the lamb is as adorable as the one in the photo, I think we would welcome it (even with the out like a lion part)! Cute of the Day: in like a lamb? I think most of us in the Northern hemisphere are ready for spring to arrive! originally appeared on 4 The Love of Animals on February 21, 2010.
Where Are You Birding This Third Weekend of January 2020?

JANUARY 17, 2020
As a month, January is like March for birding, coming in like a lion as everyone tears into a fresh, new year list, but going out like a lamb as we gradually recognize how little bird movement really takes place this time of year.
Bo Celebrated Birthday with Veal
Critter News
OCTOBER 25, 2009
When I was still a meat-eater, the two foods I would not touch were veal and lamb. Bo Obama celebrated his birthday with a doghouse cake made out of veal. Veal is especially cruel, even for factory farming, although now I think foie gras is a strong competitor. Certainly disappointed in the Obamas for such a poor choice of "cake."

A recently established international partnership will focus on developing a “strong and viable beef and lamb feedlot industry” for Iraq, according to project participants. Through a combination of technical and financial support, the partnership will work toward making Iraq a top beef and lamb producer within the Arab world,” said Dr. Ma’ad Mohammed, Inma project coordinator for the Norman Borlaug Institute for International Agriculture of the Texas A&M System, a key program participant.

She expressed her gratitude for those she kills in her book, as well: "When I first ate a meal from one of our lambs, I thought I'd be upset, since it'd been so hard to take them to the abbattoir. But instead of being sad or upset at the lamb chop on my plate, I was overcome with gratitude. But none of this should be surprising, as you may recall that Friend wrote a "Letter to My Lambs," also in her award-winning book, where she claimed to love them and honor them.

Where Are You Birding This Final Weekend of February 2015?

FEBRUARY 26, 2015
So much for going out like a lamb! Every weekend deserves at least a little excitement, but I’m finding it difficult to get too worked up about another ice-rimed February weekend. At least this miserable (YMMV) month is coming to an end. I’ll dream of an opportunity to encounter a cool owl, falcon, or boreal vagrant along the lake this weekend, but I can’t say for sure I’ll actually look for one.

March traditionally goes out like a lamb. Keep your eyes to the skies for birds in migration, like these Snow Geese snapped by Heidi Spitzig. I don’t even want to say what the month went out like this year, but it had best not go out that way again! Now that signs of migration and regrowth are popping up daily in the Northern Hemisphere, the time has come to shake off that cabin fever and indulge in some wilderness therapy. Corey and I are both planning to get out there this weekend.

When I watch Top Chef, these people can hardly make a chocolate cake without throwing some lamb in there. I know, I know, I shouldn't be surprised. The guy is a real jerk on Hell's Kitchen, but we watch him on the British show Kitchen Nightmares and I've learned a lot from the guy. He's more human and sensitive on the show. And he has such a sense and love of food. But, according to my husband, the guy hates vegetarians and won't allow his daughter to marry one. What the f^&^!
On Objections to Slaughterhouses Not Sandwich Shops

MARCH 31, 2009
Briefly: Zoning board in Buffalo unanimously approved plans for a slaughterhouse (as in, a place where chickens, goats, lambs and calves will be killed and chopped up). I think I'm going to start a contest for the most absurd/ironic/bizarre sentence to come out of the mouth of a human each week. I'd have to narrow it down to published sentences, just to be fair; I wouldn't want to get into any he said/she said situations.

This month comes in like a lamb, unless you’re paying attention to fall migration, in which case the lion is roaring right now. October much resembles March in these parts, but reversed in polarity. Enjoy! I don’t know why I’ve done this to myself, but I’ve been working every weekend morning. This weekend will be the same, which will definitely impede my birding exploits.

MARCH 2, 2018
In the Northern Hemisphere, we celebrate March as the month that comes in like a lion–especially in my neck of the woods–and goes out like a lamb. Birdingwise, that sequence works in reverse. Many areas around the world are seeing some early movement now, but the grand parade of migration picks up speed and mass as the month progresses. I hope you enjoy every minute of this month’s birding.

Now that we’ve entered the third month of the calendar year, take stock: did your birding March come in like a lion or a lamb? My birding was positively sheepish during this busy weekend. Luckily, a Carolina Wren took kindness upon me by singing at my office window. Corey enjoyed getting out and about in Queens on Sunday morning between two snowstorms. He didn’t see a ton of birds but he did appreciate the number of Snow Geese flocking up at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge.
US Government Continues Subsidizing Meat Industry

Department of Agriculture also said it will buy $60 million of turkey, $2 million of lamb and $29.7 Hard to wean people off animals when the US government is propping up the industries, and especially when so much of it ends up on school lunch trays (laying the foundation for this nation's obesity problem in my opinion.) I also have problems with subsidies to big agribusiness. It's just another bailout, but nothing new. We've been propping these guys up for decades.

The month eases you in, docile as a lamb, but promises to bite you on the back end. Around here, October feels a lot like March in reverse.

I enjoyed autumnal splendor down in rural Pennsylvania at that perfect moment when lush green foliage begins to mix with brilliant red, orange, and gold.

Perhaps the time has come, though, to retire the bit about lions and lambs. Oh to be on the Sanetti Plateau in Ethiopia ! March, at least in my part of the world, is living up to its billing as a ferocious starter. Who outside of certain parts of Africa thinks about lions during this time of year? In fact, is the volatility of this month even measurably greater at its start than its end in places where lions actually live free?

March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb and all that rot. Wouldn’t you love to visit Cape Kidnappers in NZ, where Duncan Wright has enjoyed sauvignon and seabirds ? What matters more to me is how this month comes in like decrepit winter and goes out like nascent spring, early migrants and all! Which spring migrant are you most looking forward to? Honestly, I recently dreamed about spotting my first Eastern Phoebes of the year.

Animal Ethics
MARCH 3, 2008
Anyone who loves little lambs in a personal way more than he loves lamb chops in a gustatory way ought to forego the latter delicacies. The moral issue, when a man eats lamb chops, is not: Does he gain more value than the lambs have lost by dying so young? An accurate quantitative comparison of the value he gains with that which the lamb loses is really impossible. Love demands, as every interest demands, that it should dominate life completely.
US Retailers Concerned Over Australia's Delay in Ending Mulesing
Critter News
APRIL 7, 2010
Mulesing, in which woolgrowers surgically remove parts of merino lambs' rears to prevent potentially fatal flystrike, has sparked demonstrations and litigation by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). Such an awful practice. But, as is typical with many large industries, there is a resistance to change unless there is a clear and immediate profit windfall. Why change for welfare purposes if there is no clear economic benefit?

But there is an old quote I always carry with me when I bird: “In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king” (Desiderius Erasmus). I am, you see, only a mediocre birder.

The wolf devours the lamb, and is no worse a wolf for it; but if he seek, as in the fable, to give quibbling excuses for his wolfishness, he becomes a byword for hypocrisy. We may grant that so long as no scruple has arisen concerning the morality of flesh-eating, or any other barbarous usage, such practices may be carried on in innocence and good faith, and therefore without personal demoralisation to those who indulge in them.

“Bird Count at Cano Negro” was too mundane to portray the boat rides, mosquitoes, remote habitats, the surprise lamb chops lunch, and other situations. Rain came and went but it cooled things down and also gave us a chance to sit down and enjoy a wonderful, home-cooked meal of rice, beans, and lamb! I have a confession to make. Last weekend, I went on a birding binge.

Sparrows, on the other hand, seem to make the most of the lamb-like weather left over from the end of March and make their move northward while wistful, wood-warbler-wishing birders have seen few of their quarry. April, while not as exciting a migratory month as May is in the northeastern United States, is still a great time of year to see migrating birds.

I have had no other animal products (no beef, pork, lamb, or turkey, for example) since 1982. It is certain, then, that the practice of flesh-eating involves a vast amount of cruelty, a fact which cannot be lessened or evaded by any quibbling subterfuges. But, before we pass on to another phase of the food-question, we must deal more fully with that very common method of argument (alluded to in Chapter III.)

Meat, Cancer, and the Cumulative Case for Ethical Vegetarianism
Animal Ethics
JANUARY 20, 2008
Ethical vegetarianism is the thesis that killing and eating animals is morally wrong whenever equally nutritious plant-based alternatives are available. The case for ethical vegetarianism starts with several uncontroversial premises. Virtually everyone agrees that: (1) It is wrong to cause a conscious sentient animal to suffer for no good reason. Causing an animal to suffer for no good reason is cruel, and our ordinary commonsense morality tells us in no uncertain terms that cruelty is wrong.
