White Storks (the classic “baby-bringers” of legend) are increasingly common in Spain, as they have learned to use human disturbance, especially landfills, to their advantage. The locals were also excited when a small group of Black Storks flew overhead. But Black Storks are apparently increasingly rare.

Dogs can see more of the world than humans can, as their peripheral vision is better.

The Argument from Brutalization The previous argument was based on an alleged indirect effect on human beings of not eating meat. Conversely, vegetarianism, it is argued, tends to humanize people.
