I have just read a lengthy, detailed and worthwhile five part series, published Monday-Friday last week, in the online magazine Slate.

A couple of events recently have really opened my eyes to how ignorant humans are about animal cruelty and that it applies to ALL non-human animals, not just the cute, furry ones. Two weekends ago I was driving home from [...]

I do not support animal testing for any reason. Since every OTC pharmaceutical and nearly all prescription drugs are tested on animals or contain animal ingredients, I don’t take them.

“One might as well argue that because Canada used to hang convicted murderers by the neck until they were dead the tradition should not be allowed to disappear. Sealing in Canada is not a tradition, it is just an unenlightened, outdated practice.” — J.M. Coetzee, Interview from March 2008 On the eve of the Canadian [...]
