As anyone who writes and edits knows, it's far easier to produce a longer powerful, thorough piece than a shorter one. I intentionally deleted the entire section on the environment, I'm not dealing with the health benefits of not using animals, and meanwhile I wanted to present a logical progression of comments and questions that, for its perspective, was thorough.

To the Editor: Re “ Snake Owners See Furry Bias in Invasive Species Proposal ” (news article, Jan. 9): The Fish and Wildlife Service is right to propose a ban on the sale of nine large constricting snakes for the pet trade. In addition to the effects of these invasive species on ecosystems, there are also compelling humane and public safety arguments for restricting trade.

11pm: Tuck foster dog (aka Munchkin – after 34 they’ve all become “Munchkin”) in on the couch and head off to bed. 2am: Wake up to “tap, tap, tap, tap” as Munchkin frantically searches the house for companionship. Tuck Munchkin back in and go back to bed. 4am: Wake to the smell of poop. POOP! Munchkin pooped in the kitchen, but that’s okay because we’re working on paper training with this one.

Small dog owners know that a luxating patella can be a problem. Our sweet Baby recently had surgery to correct her luxating patella, which had slipped out of place and was causing her a lot of problems walking. At 7 years old, there had a been a few times before when it seemed to slip out, but it always seemed to go back in. We were quiet surprised to find that she needed surgery.

After failing miserably at a long pamphlet in 2007, I decided to shorten it by 50% and focus on a different audience: people who use animals. I think part of the original work's problem was that it was too ambitious--not to mention expensive to produce--and everything suffered. I wanted to reach people who use animals, but also people who don't, yet who nevertheless advocate for the regulation of the use of animals or give money to organizations that do.

Hello dear readers! I have been away from the blog for a bit. Between making sure that Baby’s patella heals properly (and thank you all for the tips), to going to a conference, there hasn’t been much time for blogging. Not to worry though, there are so many fun things that I have to share in the coming days. Baby has been keeping the computer safe while I was away.

This sounds awful. Go to AFP for the full story. Every year on the night of January 16, the eve of Saint Anthony's day, the patron saint of animals, the paved streets of the small town of 600 people are transformed into a sort of racetrack in which the fences are burning logs. "It's a festival in which the horses are sanctified by the flames, they are liberated from all their ills," said Quique, 30, who takes part in the festival every year.

In order to offset the loss of the seal product market in Europe, Canada has made a deal with China. I'm not surprised. China as a whole still doesn't have a national conscience about these issues. Although 40 Chinese animal rights groups have protested, they don't really have any political or financial clout to change anything.

PETA has complained to the USDA that the University of Texas has been severely mistreating its lab animals. There may be a surprise inspection, but I don't really understand how effective a "surprise" inspection is when the facility is notified in advance!!

I got the chance recently to read A Dog’s Purpose , a book that is told from the perspective of a dog! I started reading the book and could not put it back down! First, I got pulled into the story of a sweet dog named Toby who was rescued by an animal lover who, while good hearted, wasn’t doing things according to the rules. Then suddenly Toby’s story ended in the saddest of ways (euthanized).

I propose that the moral significance of the suffering, mutilation, and death of non-human animals rests on the following, which may be called the overflow principle: Act towards that which, while not itself a person, is closely associated with personhood in a way coherent with an attitude of respect for persons. So stated, the overflow principle is intended to express a strict requirement of morality, although the principle will no doubt have ramifications within the aspirational dimension of m
