Serbia has a right-centre Government that for years avoided protecting any of the already proposed areas, heavily pushing the development at whatever cost and miserably failing the environment. And in June 2021, the Mayor of Belgrade announced that Beljarica Backwaters will finally become officially protected in July.

In issuing its condemnation of established cultural practices, the rights view is not antibusiness, not antifreedom of the individual, not antiscience, not antihuman. It is simply projustice, insisting only that the scope of justice be seen to include respect for the rights of animals. Might does not make right; might does make law.

Look at the facts, lay your emotions aside and listen to reason—exactly the same reasoning that’s been so persuasive in convincing me that hunting cranes is the right thing to do. It’s our right to hunt whatever wildlife is abundant enough to support the harvest. We’ve always hunted Bald Eagles. Bald Eagles are delicious.

Although 40 Chinese animal rights groups have protested, they don't really have any political or financial clout to change anything. In order to offset the loss of the seal product market in Europe, Canada has made a deal with China. I'm not surprised. China as a whole still doesn't have a national conscience about these issues.

The feud between animal rights activists and researchers is among the bitterest in science. Plus, animals are messy, require feeding and constant care, draw protests, and, yes, can be a bit smelly. They're not necessarily questioning the ethics, but the efficacy. This is an excellent article that appeared in the Boston Globe last week.
