In the unending quest to find a kindred animal rights soul amongst my current friends, I ventured into animal testing territory with three friends over lunch this week (two guys and a woman).

Henry, as Kivell affectionately admits, may not be “the sharpest knife in the drawer,&# but compared to other animals, he’s a true scholar.

Yesterday, the world lost its most powerful voice for animal rights, Tom Regan. No one has done more to explain what "animal rights" means and why animals have rights than Tom Regan.

I’m extremely grateful to Paul for taking the initiative in raising awareness of this NWR campaign. To that end, the principals have created a terrific site called Conserving the Future: Refuges and the Next Generation to elicit votes and comments.
