And managing means killing them, breeding them, and otherwise fiddling with their populations. And of course that premise is only possible because the animals (and everything else on the planet) are our "resources." Corwin tells the story of the Maasai of Kenya, whose culture involved disdain for and slaughter of lions.

And of course, many self-identified vegetarians eat fishes and/or chickens. The unnecessary killing of a terrified animal who was likely fighting for his life, becomes he lined up to be slaughtered so you may dine on his flesh. Of course the chicken is not recognizable from the one we just saw and loved.

According to Reuters: Japan, which considers whaling to be a cherished cultural tradition, killed 679 minke whales despite plans to catch around 850. Dr. David Jentsch says to his colleagues "your silence will no longer protect you" and his community of vivisectionists has decided to have a pro-torture and slaughter (i.e.,

There are two approaches a vegetarian might take in arguing that rearing and killing animals for food is morally offensive. He might argue that eating animals is morally bad because of the pain inflicted on animals in rearing and killing them to be eaten. Or he could object to the killing itself.

After scrolling through piles of furious emails regarding a recent blog about Rip Van Winkle’s Crow Killing Contest , it seemed to me that all of us needed Dr. Phil. The subject was not hunting; it was contest killing. And being anti-hunting does not weaken our position when it comes to contest killing.”. It will never happen.

He asked whether cows, chickens, sheep and some of the other animals that we eat are usually treated and killed in a humane manner. The meat industry will say yes, of course, all animals are treated and killed humanely. The eventual kill is quick, clean, and painless. Here is my opinion. This is mass production.

Of course, what they are talking about and how they are changing their behavior is very frustrating for someone who doesn't believe we should be using animals at all. When I think about the language that has been used by people who kill animals or have someone else do it for them, a couple of years ago the "compassionate" trend began.

In fact, I'd even permit them to not ever kill anyone, but rather to eat the kill of another that has been quietly decomposing for a day or two, as many carnivores do. We simply cannot survive without killing them! Net message? Now, who's a carnivore?

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. Why kill and maim and waste taxpayer dollars--or any dollars--on such things?

Whenever the media report that someone has killed "an endangered animal" or "an endangered species," they too confuse an individual with a species. Hunters kill members of endangered species. In some sense, of course, many (perhaps most) humans don't know right from wrong. Off we go (and all of the below are exact quotes).

When in the position of having the choice, which so far is always, I'd rather choose not to have someone killed for me. Of course, the world outside of our home tells a different story. This is a tough one to even dignify as it's not a good reason for killing someone. But they always have their desire to not be killed.

In both countries, birds have been killed for reasons of food, commerce, and sport. It wasn’t just the mass killings in so many ways. What a horror!

This one addresses the decreasing number of dogs and cats being experimented on and, without mentioning it, discusses speciesism and our affection for dogs--pet dogs particularly (and especially purebreds)--which leads to our revulsion with the idea of snatching, vivisecting and killing them. It does not make them more or less a "tool."

And the absurdity is in the reality that the author and the featured person who kills sentient nonhumans for a living, think they're onto something. The voice of Temple Grandin is of course the foundation. And perhaps that "better" will distract the reader from the undeniable fact of the unjust slaughter. It is murder.
