Rescuing the Vick dogs was a controversial move by Best Friends and some animal groups, most notably PETA, did not agree with it. And the dogs deserve a happy life after all the suffering they have been through (two of them have already been adopted.) Tags: pit bull blood sport television Best Friends PETA.

PETA's latest publicity stunt was to file a lawsuit in federal court alleging that five orcas at SeaWorld in San Diego are slaves for purposes of the 13th Amendment. Nonhuman animals can suffer. That fact alone suffices to grant them a legal right not to be made to suffer. Dentists make people suffer.)

If any "drastic measures" are employed, they are to remove animals from suffering, not to impose our dietary choices on others. According to Parker, here are the threats: the ALF, the ELF, SHAC, PeTA and the oddest member of the group, the HSUS. Of course, Lobo is missing the point entirely.

Humans get all wrapped up in stories of those who can communicate their sufferings. One of the benefits that human rights movements have is that they are articulating for themselves. Animals can't do that. That's why people say that they have no problem eating them, harvesting them, experimenting on them, etc. Who is our leader? Best Friends?

” How is it that a little-known organization of extremists (even PETA does not oppose trap-and-euthanize because they recognize it is often less cruel than TNR) with an annual budget of about $5 million could cow a nationally recognized, respected, conservation organization that had over $300 million in assets in 2010? Pretty standard.

And this is partly what’s so disappointing about the message of this book: Herzog amasses the research, and sees and does things that involve tremendous suffering and injustice. If that means volunteering at a dog rescue or giving money to PETA, all while eating and using animals, at least you’re doing something.

Animals raised for food suffer miserably. After time in the Marines, I veered strongly away from eating creatures, thinking of their suffering. Kristof (column, April 9): Thank you for this inspiring and enlightening article. I was 4 or 5, and I cringed. At 14, as I started making my own choices, my eating habits began to change.

This morning, during the Facebook discussion, Engber writes (and the first sentence is reason alone to chime in): Bring on the PETA hotties! In 10 or 15 years of life, he suffered through multiple surgeries and infections and endless hours of restraint in a plastic chair. And for what?

This says it all: "[T]he vision of sustainable farms that give animals a good life (a life as good as we give our dogs or cats) and an easy death (as easy as a death we give our suffering and terminally ill companion animals) has moved me" (242). You never have to wonder if the fish on your plate had to suffer. It did" (193).

Today it is a different situation, i learned from then about respecting animals and my life has been devoted to ending their suffering and torment. Also, John Carmody is PETA's spokesperson for Ireland. Thinking back still touch's me to the point where I feel so guilty-but I knew no different. I wonder how well that works.

There might be a handful of PeTA efforts around suffering, and there is " That's Why We Don't Eat Animals ," but what we need is a series--a franchise that makes veganism appealing. We can either bombard the publishing industry with proposals for books for kids, or we can create a publishing company ourselves for this specific purpose.
