The traditional, supposedly humane answer to the glut of feral cats has been institution of “TNR” programs – trap, neuter, return. Marra and Santella are very much anti-TNR, a view that is shared by others, including People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), not to mention Birdchick.

And when the option is rounding them up and killing them, TNR looks like an especially attractive option. Tags: Activism Current Affairs Ethics Gray Matters. We are making a decision for sentient beings that we think will be better for both populations. But who cares about me? What do you all t hink?

Thanks, Stephanie! Speaking of Project Treadstone, Powder Puff, seen below, died over the weekend. Each time I saw him he looked sickly.

What I do know is that I feel an urgency for the causes I care about that blogging, baking, giving money and doing TNR work simply doesn't satisfy. Tags: Activism Ethics Language. Not that I'm giving you a deadline. I still haven't figured it all out. It's a minuscule drop in an ever-overflowing bucket. Is it fair? Is it just ?

As a vegan, part of what I believe is that bringing animals onto this planet to use them as food or as pets isn't ethical. Many vegans also believe that bringing people onto this planet isn't ethical, but I'm more of the school that says that if you have the urge to parent, having a biological child isn't in opposition to veganism.

Finally, I was asked to participate in a new TNR group in my town that started largely because of my oodles of questions and setting of policy for Project Treadstone! Tags: Activism Current Affairs Ethics. It'll be my area's first group dedicated to reducing the feral cat population!
