4 The Love Of Animals

AUGUST 9, 2009

Responding to an anonymous tip about a neglected cat, the Humane Law Enforcement agents arrived at Stewart’s residence to find a seven-week-old, one-pound orange tabby with his whiskers cut off and a serious injury to his right front paw. It was determined that Stewart had failed to get medical attention for her cat.

But we knew these were trivial inconveniences compared to the suffering the fires were causing, which became more evident as we continued our journey that week: the highways crowded with refugees fleeing from the north and east and we witnessed a great outpouring of neighborly help for those in need at many roadside stops.

You love your pet, right? Vomiting and diarrhea: Even responsible pet owners overlook this occasionally because it is such a common occurrence in dogs and cats. No need to panic every time kitty cat scratches herself, but if it becomes excessive, she may be suffering from a skin disease or infection. Of course you do.

The central case of cruelty appears to be the case where, in Locke's apt phrase, one takes "a seeming kind of Pleasure" in causing another to suffer. Some cruel people do not feel pleasure in making others suffer. For example, a woman is not cruel if she occasionally fails to feed her cat. Let us term this sadistic cruelty.

In responding to Suzie’s post defending wildlife rehabilitation I began to think again about the areas in which animal rights and animal welfare overlap with the field of conservation, and the ways in which they don’t. If you like animals you will generally not want them to suffer and you won’t want them to go extinct.

I was pretty sure that this was not a baby bird — I wasn’t good enough then at identification to know what it was right away — but it was so sluggish I was afraid the cold might kill him if he stayed there any longer. The chickadee that I discovered on the sidewalk was suffering from dehydration and hypothermia.

It’s important for you to recognize when your pet may be suffering from hypothermia, which can be accomplished by being able to identify several key signs. Even if your pet is not outdoors for extended periods of time, it’s very important that you provide your pet with the right shelter. However, this is often not the case.

It's one that's brought on, no doubt, by the acts of vandalism and intimidation of radical animal-rights groups, but I think it also serves to insulate the research community from any responsibility it might otherwise have to increase transparency and public engagement with the work. It "guarantees humane treatment?" Maybe on paper.

He’s right: I don’t care deeply about the suffering of animals I eat, wear or otherwise benefit from. Suffering and injustice are inherent in life, and time is short. I also recognize that alleviating suffering in one area may cause pain elsewhere. Lerner Woodside, Calif., Wolves eat sheep. Tuna eat mackerel.

The Argument from Human Grain Shortage All of the clearly moral arguments for vegetarianism given so far have been in terms of animal rights and suffering. Or new markets could be found among the countries of the world where meat consumption is slight; more need for meat could be produced among nonvegetarians and dogs and cats.

This says it all: "[T]he vision of sustainable farms that give animals a good life (a life as good as we give our dogs or cats) and an easy death (as easy as a death we give our suffering and terminally ill companion animals) has moved me" (242). You never have to wonder if the fish on your plate had to suffer. Not a single one.

When referring to cats, dogs and horses of unknown sex, the children would randomly assign sex, with the conventionally "prettier" animals being called "she." I remember that as a child I called all cats "she" and dogs "he" in the absence of a name. We do that with cats and dogs already, right? That makes sense to me.

When I informed Dave of what Emily and I were doing, he reminded me that some frogs are fatally poisonous to cats. As I skulked around my own house, all I could picture was Emily tearing Kermie limb from limb, then suffering a grisly death from ingesting the poison that ran through Kermie’s froggy veins.
