We went this route because he isn't putting weight on his back right leg anymore (you can even see the muscle atrophy--look at the difference--it's not because of the angle). 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!

Interviewer: "Are you a vegetarian?". And no amount of donations to groups that supposedly want to abolish animal cruelty is going to make up for the fact that until you stop having animals killed for you you are part of the problem. The commentator says that part of her winnings will go to abolish animal cruelty (yes, abolish).

Next, a fellow introvert e-mailed me describing herself as extremely awkward socially as well as invisible and having social anxiety, and asking where/how she might be useful to the animal rights movement. I wrote about " The End of the Line " over at Animal Rights & AntiOppression, so I won't rehash. Finally, two films.

In the 1970s, the FDA proposed a ban on penicillin and tetracycline in animal feed, but the proposal was defeated after criticism from interest groups. But the Bush Administration reversed that decision five days before it was going to take effect after receiving several hundred letters from drug companies and farm animal trade groups.

The tiresome Hitler was a well-known vegetarian comment is included in this segment, but I found it irksome long before that. He's right with his implication that stopping the seizing of pets and strays simply created a more efficient, effective means of commodifying and torturing dogs and cats.

The meat and dairy industries want to keep their operations away from the public’s discriminating eyes, but as groups like PETA and the Humane Society have shown us in their graphic and disturbing undercover investigations, factory farms are mechanized madness and slaughterhouses are torture chambers to these unfortunate and feeling beings.

Only then will these companies “do the right thing,” if only to ensure their continued survival. But for more than 20 years, consumer groups led by Public Citizen have worked to scare the public about food irradiation and threatened to boycott companies that market irradiated products.

Eat right. If you are already a vegetarian, make this the year that you decide to go vegan. What counts as eating right? By eating a low-fat vegan diet centered around whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes, you will be eating right. Lose weight. Quit smoking. Exercise more. Drink less alcohol. Get out of debt.

Unlike birds, they do not vocalize; unlike butterflies, they are totally predatory, not a vegetarian amongst them. Species accounts are sequential, one running right after the other. Family and genus sections all begin with descriptions of what features the group has in common and how individuals differ. More on this later.)
