This post is inspired by a thought-provoking piece on the Provoked blog (clearly a good name for a blog!) Tags: activism musings animal rights animal welfare.

I was hoping to say that I have blogged every day for three years as of today, but sadly, and very frustratingly, the past couple of days I have been otherwise occupied. I'm in the position of having to build a website for a child welfare organization. Remember that this isn't a blog, but might include one. From scratch.

I don't believe they are working for human welfare. I posted on this blog about quitting because of the New Iberia scandal in Louisiana in which the Humane Society found primates being abused. I don't support animal research and I have no sympathy for animal researchers. I believe they want to be gods in the laboratory.

I've been blogging here less partly because I've been blogging at Animal Rights & AntiOppression (check out my latest post " On Corporate Personhood and Animal Rights " and the better-than-the-post comments) but also because I've been feeling like a broken record and I don't want to bore anyone. Where do people get that idea?

Both animal rights groups and animal welfare groups use "compassion" frequently. What I do know is that I feel an urgency for the causes I care about that blogging, baking, giving money and doing TNR work simply doesn't satisfy. Why all the quotation marks? Then again, so do people who kill animals for a living.

It takes a slightly different take on vegetarian advocacy—trying to quantify the effects of single meal decisions to protect the environment and improve animal welfare. At this point we're emailing websites and blogs that have related themes, our goal being to get the word out that the site exists. Cheers, Bernard Brown

I suspect that many readers of this blog are Christians but not vegetarians. On the traditional position, justification of vegetarianism was in terms of animal welfare, happiness, rights, and so on. I read Martin’s essay only recently, having discovered it by accident.

As anyone who follows this blog knows, outdoor cats are a veritable holocaust for wild birds, small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and even insects. Almost every single outdoor pet cat, feral cat, or stray kills other animals , no matter how well fed the cat is through other sources. American Bird Conservancy – The Cats Indoors!

I think the main thing for me, leaving aside the debate on invasive species and the birds welfare, is that it just feels like cheating. A few years back, Mike McDowell in his blog The Digiscoper , covered baiting owls in Not Baited. At least a chicken would last awhile as a feeder.

Yesterday's lessons learned were primarily about blogging. And people who say they want us to stop using animals, yet whose tactics appear to be in the service of the welfare of animals, can be called "new welfarists." But, probably because I was blogging daily and there wasn't great fodder daily, I expanded into other areas.

I've been having a difficult time blogging both here and at Animal Rights & AntiOppression lately because I feel like my thoughts are like " Groundhog Day." Not the day, the film, where Bill Murray experiences the same day over and over again. There are few animal rights stories in the news. People are talking.
