While the Humane Society was pretty happy with Vilsack as Obama's pick for the Department of Agriculture, the Farm Sanctuary is wary. This is a December 18 post from Gene Bauer's blog pointing out some concerns about Vilsack. Bauer is the president and co-founder of the Farm Sanctuary.

This post is inspired by a thought-provoking piece on the Provoked blog (clearly a good name for a blog!) If a meat eater eats meat, but hates the factory farm system or animal experimentation, do we discount anything we can get out of them because they are not "pure." Or the vegetarian who still uses dairy?

Many, if not most, of the meat eaters I know are deeply concerned about the fact that the animals they eat are raised in factory farm conditions. They realize that factory farming is inhumane.

If you'll indulge me I would like to compliment you on your blog. I'm sure your blog helps many people contemplating vegetarianism/veganism. My temptation when dealing with others was to simply say, "hey look this is what modern factory farming is all about," and voila people would make the change.

First of all, I would like to thank Keith for inviting me to be a part of this blog. I have always felt a sense of connection to animals since as far back as I can remember, and the current manner in which they are treated in factory farms disturbs me. Hi there, I'm Jonathan.

And they certainly wouldn't hurt anybody; that's what those big factory farms do that aren't owned by families. But now I think about all of that being done to my daughter and I must say the disgust I experience at the notion that a family farm is somehow a wholesome place is a bit overwhelming. But so are family farms.

Jonathan Hubbell, a philosophy major at the University of Texas at Arlington, is the newest member of the Animal Ethics blog, and once again, I would like to welcome him aboard. It goes something like this: Yes, I agree that factory farming is morally unjustifiable and ought to be abolished.
