" Creature Quotes: Advancing Toward Freedom For All Species ," compiled and edited by SBH Clay, is now available. From the Introduction : "Humans are fascinated by animals. For all our devotion, though, we sometimes seem not to recognize the needs and wants of animals.

Not the solution or end to factory farming, but if big ag can't rely on antibiotics, then they may have to rethink the filthy conditions of factory farms. Animals would get sick much easier, possibly affecting the bottom line of profit above all. It could effect some small amount of improvement.maybe. If the FDA's recommendation is accepted.

Animal Ethics
JUNE 12, 2010
If there has been progress in ethics recently it has been through the realization of some ethicists that animal happiness and suffering has to be considered equally with that of human beings. I should draw attention here to the remarkable book Animal Liberation by Professor Peter Singer of Monash University. Christian ethics has been deficient in this respect, since animals have been regarded as things made by God for the use of men.

Farm Sanctuary recently came to the aid of six male Holstein calves, several just days old, who had been abandoned without food or water and left for dead. With much love and care these calves are now thriving, however, they are in desperate need of potential adopters for these sweet boys.

Thanks to Barbara Barth for this guest post. Barbara wrote a memoir about her first year as a widow called The Unfaithful Widow. A good portion of the book is about the rescue dogs that grieved with her and comforted her during this time. Surprisingly, it is also a funny–no, a hilarious–story of readjusting to single life after 25 years in a relationship.

We would like to thank Leslie Douglas for this great guest post! A lot of very important information for pet owners, especially as we go into the summer season. We all know that mosquitoes are annoying pests that buzz around and then bite, leaving a welt that itches terribly. Mosquitoes bite humans and animals with no regard to species, and they bring along a number of illnesses.

Snuggletop pet beds from Natura are so comfortable, you might just want to steal it from your dog and sleep on it yourself! Our dog, Baby, has suffered from back and hip problems since the day she was born. Because some of her vertebrae are actually bone on bone, finding anything that helps her be comfortable is a high priority for us. The Natura snuggletop bed has been a dream for her because it is so soft, and yet supportive.

5 ways to de-bug your pet this spring: Ticks can be difficult to spot. Ticks are tiny, some about the size of a pin head. They can resemble freckles, moles or even specks of dirt. Also, they can hide behind floppy ears or in long fur. Don’t assume your dog is tick-free just because you can’t readily see one. Ticks may be transferred to humans. You may not spend much time outdoors, but if your dog does, then you can get a tick, too.

No, I'm not making this up. From the Associated Press. A restaurant owner who put lion burgers on the menu in honor of the World Cup has felt a roar of anger from outraged animal rights activists. Cameron Selogie, owner of the Il Vinaio restaurant in Mesa, served burgers made with African lion this week as a nod to the tournament in South Africa. Reservations sold out, with a waiting list 100 long.

We were so excited when we found out that we were among the Can’t Miss: 10 Pet Blogs over on My Fox New York! We could not be more excited to be listed with so many of our own daily reads. This means the world to us, as we started this blog as a way to help animals and those who love them. It’s exciting to receive positive press, and we would be remiss if we didn’t thank you, our readers, for making our blog what it is!

You may have noticed a lack of posting, and that is because we took a vacation! On our vacation we saw a lot of wonderful animals, including flamingos. Today’s Cute of the Day is a photo of the flamingos that we saw: Now, I realize that not everyone thinks they are cute, but they are very interesting! Personally, I find them to be both funny and odd, while at the same time very graceful and beautiful.

Maureen P. Smith is the new of the Jane Goodall Institute. You may be familiar with Dr. Goodall and her work with chimpanzees. The Jane Goodall Institute, which was founded in 1977, is a global leader in the effort to protect chimpanzees and their habitats. They also have many innovative community-centered conservation and development programs in more than 120 countries!

I particularly question the use of chimpanzees in medical research. From what I recall, chimpanzees share at least 95 percent of human DNA, although the number that floats around the most is 98.6 percent. The following is from The Dragons of Eden by Carl Sagan. If chimpanzees have consciousness, if they are capable of abstractions, do they not have what until now has been described as "human rights"?

This is a continuation of an earlier post about why I question animal testing. Oftentimes, scientists seem to think that they just need to waive their PhDs and research projects in everyone's faces and we should all shut up and bow our heads to their great wisdom. But universities and scientists are not always there working for pure learning or the improvement of humanity.

This post on Mongabay.com discusses whether we'll ever know the full extent of the oil spill's impact on wildlife. There are many animals that are "charisma species" that capture our attention, like pelicans and turtles, but what about the animals farther down on the food chain that we don't see. They may not be cute and charismatic, but they are the ones that support those that are.
