Because we planned to adopt I had been researching eco-friendly, vegan nursery items but had yet to purchase a thing. Emily has taken to sleeping right next to wherever Sky is. There are so many decisions to be made and we're excited to raise our little girl with intention. It's very cute.

While spending hours in the car I've been thinking about various issues related to sentient nonhumans, animal rights and veganism. Imagine if kids in 4-H were taught how to raise dogs for dogfighting (not a perfect analogy, I know). And vegans are accused of imposing our belief systems and brainwashing kids?

First, Chris directed me to ePub Bud , which appears to be a timely and fantastic idea given my recent plea for more books for children about veganism. I wrote about " The End of the Line " over at Animal Rights & AntiOppression, so I won't rehash. Finally, two films. I also saw " What's On Your Plate?

Steiner might feel less lonely as an ethical vegan—he says he has just five vegan friends—if he recognized that he has allies in mere vegetarians (like me), ethical omnivores and even carnivores.

Animals raised for food suffer miserably. The overwhelming passage in November of Proposition 2 in California, which banned tight confinement of many of the animals raised for food, is a fine example of the power of publicity to educate people about the atrocities we commit to those animals who have no voice of their own.

But there is a net loss in all meat production, not just of farmed fish or feeding fish to land animals being raised for food. Feeding grain to chickens, pigs and cows is even more inefficient, with 70 percent of grain grown in the United States going to animals raised for food. Laura Frisk Encinitas, Calif., Lawrence S.

But there is indeed a simple answer to these problems: Go vegan. Raising livestock is the best use of most pasture land, not growing crops. We are evolved to eat meat—it is right and natural.

It is not just a few outspoken animal rights fanatics who hold this view. For example, Carl Cohen, who has argued at length that animals don’t have rights, admits: If animals feel pain (and certainly mammals do,), we humans surely ought cause no pain to them that cannot be justified.

First, I will raise some questions that usually are not asked, let alone answered, by moral vegetarians.

Vegan vegetarians who eat only vegetables, fruit, and nuts do not completely remove all microorganisms from their food, even with repeated cleaning. The question can be raised: Why should these organisms be killed and others not be killed? If so, no moral objection based on the killing of animals could be raised to the eating of meat.

Not only are they killed in cruel ways, but it is well documented that they are raised in ways that cause them great discomfort and agony. The question that must be raised, however, is how the conclusion not to eat meat follows from this. Consequently, one ought not to eat meat until actual practice is changed. milk production.
