To tell the truth, I weep at every animal cruelty ad I see; weather it be on the computer, in a magazine, newspaper or television! It seems to me that the animals that have a bad reputation and are known for attacking humans sometimes are the ones that have to be hurt or beaten, even hunted. Take the Grizzly for an example:often shot because they either come to close to people or because they are spotted by careless hunters. Just because they are feirce predators, that doesn't mean they have no feelings or tolerance for anything on planet earth! You may think that they could atleast show some respect to human beings, but that's not clear. If you think about it, they do have some respect for humans___we are pushing them to their limits! Killing because we cannot see through that angry fur or thick skinned head linned with thousands of teeth, we just don't get the fact that this is how life is. There is nothing they can do to chang what species they are born into! The most ruthless creature on earth is not the shark, the bear, the tiger, the snake,the spider,the bull,the eel,the elephant, nor the dinosours, even the t-rex if it was alive today!____but the human! Destroyers of everything!So ruthless we are! Some people want to help others,like people who pass requests to build factorys, to get money, to help other people get money,to make more things.We always want to help other humans. But have we ever considered careing about polar bears, probably not. We look up to humans as inspiration, for advice. Do we ever look up to polar bears? You should find a nice one,make him famous.

If you have a deer head then you must own arms and land. Land ownership and amory are big aspects of British culture going back thousands of years ago. Houses of Royal Families such as Buckingham Palace usually have walls lined with scores deer heads. This shows a great amount of wealth, power, and authority.

I have loved seeing some of the posters that children have done in a recent animal rights poster competition run by Adventurebox - http://www.bayard-magazines.co.uk/gammebox/design_a_poster/adventure_dessins.jsp - to me this shows that these concerns are very important to young people today too, and hopefully we can work peacefully in the future to help improve animal rights across the world.

Do you really think he explains Animal Rights well in Animal Liberation? Singer defends the idea of consciencious omnivorism. He believes it is morally defensible for us to exploit animals as long as they are "treated humanely". Whether or not you agree with that, is it not obvious Singer's work is fundamentally welfarist?

This is something I struggle with, too, every single day, and it's why I volunteer at Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary. You're right, being vegan isn't enough, so I go there on weekends and clean up lots of poop and give them fresh water and some attention and a clean place to live. The ducks, goats, sheep, chickens, turkeys, peacock pigs, cows, horses and mules there are the happy ending - what millions of others are denied. Is there a nearby sanctuary where you can volunteer? or a pet shelter? Looking forward to more posts about the conference. Did Big Ag have many attending? s. Great post, Mindy.
