On the other hand, kids that don’t get the experience of having a pet early may become afraid of animals, especially if their parents don’t particularly care for animals. For these folks, I recommend a nontraditional pet like a rat or a guinea pig. Today I own 40 outdoor dogs and two more who live indoors!

I've used the term "animal activism" lately as an experiment. If you believe your dog has a right to a life free of torture and slaughter for no reason, then you really ought to think about extending that right to mice, rats, chickens and fish. I'm trying to gauge people's receptivity to what I'm about to say.

I’ve been working on it so long that holding it in my hands was a completely surreal experience.

Is it true that the least I can do is support the engineering of animals who experience less unpleasantness than they would have had they not been engineered that way? And of course, the reality that all of this involves using sentient nonhumans when that's unnecessary isn't even considered. That action is to opt out and go vegan.
