Of course, as a result, "ethical meat" becomes an option unless one realizes that killing when you don't need to is killing when you don't need to, no matter if it occurs in a slaughterhouse or in a mobile slaughter operation or in a backyard. You are choosing domination and enslavement and forced breeding and unnecessary slaughter.

Migrants will be around but their hormone driven urges to get back to the breeding grounds for procreation make them less than reliable on count day. Scouting for race day : Another high point, although this could also be viewed as a low point if scouted species pull a no-show on race day.

And managing means killing them, breeding them, and otherwise fiddling with their populations. Corwin tells the story of the Maasai of Kenya, whose culture involved disdain for and slaughter of lions. When I was asked if I wanted to read Jeff Corwin's 100 HEARTBEATS (Rodale 2009) I was ambivalent.

The film Partitions (running time: 14 min) by Audrey Kali gives an intimate glimpse of the ethical struggles that five small-scale meat farmers face when their animals are slaughtered. The farmer fails to note that the natural lifespan of pigs is 11-15 years and the natural lifespan of chickens is 5-11 years, depending on breed.

More than nine billion chickens are slaughtered each year in the United States.

News flash: Slaughtering horses does not promote their welfare.

Farmers were bragging about how much they "loved" the animals they would soon betray and slaughter, and many omnivores who had discovered how animals are treated wanted to assuage their consciences a bit by "at least" giving the animals a better life prior to their untimely slaughter. That's respect. Photo from Flickr user gunp0wder.

Now, any medication we take and surgical procedures we undergo also have a long line of breeding, enslavement, torture and killing of sentient nonhumans leading up to them, so objecting to "knockout animals" on those grounds is to stand on somewhat thin ice. Like when they're about to be, say, slaughtered? This is where I'm confused.

Yet, in the late 1970s there still were six colonies with about 40 breeding pairs left, but in the early 1990s only two colonies and 22 pairs persisted (of which only 13 bred in 1991) – five of them in this gorge. Hence, vultures rely on a feeding station where they are provisioned with slaughter house offal and occasional carrion.

However young and healthy, captives judged inappropriate for exhibition or breeding are considered 'excess' and usually are 'unloaded' or killed. By pairing humane with slaughter , legislators have sanctioned horrific cruelty and mass murder. What if slaughter were freed (miraculously) of all terror and pain?

Still, I can’t help thinking that there is some parallel between the mass slaughter of the Passenger Pigeon in 19th-century North America and the mass slaughter of songbirds in southern European countries today. Or the destruction of the forests, food source and breeding grounds. Or the absence of legal protection.

Their goal is to make a profit from the breeding and slaughter of animals. If someone owns me, forcibly breeds me, takes my kids and ends my life, it's a living hell for me. When it's put that way, doesn't it sound silly? Families are just as capable of horrendous policies toward animals as anyone else. But so are family farms.

Here's where we reach the point of the series: Clayton was born in a breeding center; he grew up in metal boxes and spent his adolescence with a hole in his head and a coil around his eye. But that's now what happened. Isn't it better for science, and more humane, to use just one animal? It does not make them more or less a "tool."
