Victoria's Secret Stops Selling Exotic Animal Skins
Critter News
MAY 16, 2010
Anyway, I'm wondering if the decision could have been influenced by PETA's investigation of how reptiles are being skinned alive for these sales. Victoria's Secret was selling what? I didn't know they were doing this in the first place! And I just bought something from them last month for the first time. This PETA post doesn't claim the credit though.

FEBRUARY 6, 2010
A lot of these animals are reptiles, spiders and amphibians, which explains the large number. Holy cow! That's HUGE. It was an exotic animal importing firm (why the eff do those even exist?) that was allegedly mistreating its animals. This rescue is the result of a PETA undercover investigation. See, husband, this is why I like PETA!) From the Detroit Free Press. The raid followed an undercover investigation by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
SPECIESISM, by Joan Dunayer, Part Deux
Animal Person
APRIL 1, 2010
No living group of nonhuman animals--no existing species of invertebrate, fish, amphibian, reptile, bird or nonhuman mammal--is ancestral to humans. Although we have reptilian ancestors, we didn't descend from reptiles or any species alive today (105). I realize that in writing about "old speciesism" I failed to define this term that Dunayer uses. I think of "old speciesism" as analogous to racism and sexism in that it is exploitation based on species.

You’ve got all the details down: budget, accommodation, a list of rides for the kids, restaurants to try, and even your outfits are planned out. Everything is all set. Then you hear a bark and realized, who’s taking care of the dogs when you’re away? Suddenly you don’t feel so excited anymore.

Animal Ethics

I confess that I felt a certain animosity toward the reptile, and have yet to decide whether I will help his or her cousins in the future. To the Editor: It’s good to know that Verlyn Klinkenborg is among those of us who stop to help tortoises on their way on a busy road (“ Edges and Order ,” The Rural Life, Jan. I have done that, and afterward felt at least virtuous if not godlike.
