Jewish survivors compare animal rights and the holocaust
Started Nov 11, 2012 0 Replies 1 Like
Here is an article that I find quite moving. It is a courageous thing to do after surviving the holocaust to then be able to stand up for animals and state the similarities with how we treat animals…Continue

Kerry Baker replied to Tim Gier's discussion Most Animals in U.S are killed by Cats"I'll try to get the correct source Carolyn and post.
Interestingly today I went to a lecture at Melbourne Uni by a visiting Canadian Professor talking about the welfarist / conservationist sides. He went through some past research…"
Kerry Baker replied to Tim Gier's discussion Most Animals in U.S are killed by Cats"It is not so simple. I always have to wonder where this argument comes up and vegans start suggesting eradication or culling or sterilisation, but funnily I have never seen the human species included in their strategies.
The human race has been the…"
Kerry Baker replied to Tim Gier's discussion Most Animals in U.S are killed by Cats"Nath, there is evidence to support the article. In Western Australia some time ago research conducted by the WA University actually showed cats are not responsible for anywhere near the numbers of deaths attributed to them. The research…"

Lawyers for Animals
This is a group for lawyers working in animal rights and interested parties to share experience in their work to obtain better conditions for animals.See More
Kerry Baker replied to Carolyn Bailey's discussion What Comes After The End of Factory Farming?"Another issue why this is unsustainable is the burden on the health systems globally largely caused by diet. It is well known about the overuse of antibiotics, and the increasing evidence of 'superbugs'. Governments can't afford…"
Kerry Baker replied to Tim Gier's discussion Most Animals in U.S are killed by Cats"Without seeing how they did their research it's a bit hard to determine how valid the results are to this study. Cats seem to incite extremes in opinion among people, and I don't have a huge confidence in research if for example it was…"
Kerry Baker replied to Michael Sizer-Watt's discussion Vitriol Flying Among AR Advocates in Niagara Region Over Aboriginal Hunting"Hi Michael. Much the same situation we have in Australia. And it is tricky when arguing for the animals when indigenous rights are involved. I do not however have any problem with arguing against killing animals irrespective of who is doing it. To…"

Systematically Oppressed Vegans
For vegans who deal with any combination of sexism, racism, queerphobia, ableism as well as new-age bullying (which some of us with chronic health issues have to see constantly in communities focusing on health-veganism (plant-based cults actually), or when friends and other communities occasionally let out their inner health-freak). I don't criticise the latter unless it's directed at me because I lack time and I get rather drained dealing with ableism which is unquestionably accepted, or…See More

Kerry Baker posted a blog postApes bred for medical experiments in Victoria
This was the headline article in the Sunday Age today, one of our major newspapers. While I am pleased to see it given such prominence it is nevertheless distressing to read what we all probably know or suspect, that 'ethics committees' and a bit of a joke.For anyone who feels so inclined I think it would be appropriate to contact Monash University, and the National health and Medical Research Council which you can Google to express ourtage and be advocates for the animals.…See More

Kerry Baker replied to Carolyn Bailey's discussion Appeal to Opinion, Animal Ethics and Discussion ~ Paul Goodsell"I would have no problem at all with politely refusing food if it wasn't vegan.

One of my favourite poems by DH Lawrence. I was reminded of this today when a young woman in a shop squashed a spider on the counter just as I said 'DON'T" and before I could stop her. I said 'why did you do that?' and she asked what I'd have done with it and I said 'put it outside.' But I recalled being afraid of spiders as a child, my mother telling me I was afraid of them, and how long it took me to treat them respectfully.

Today, April 25th, is Anzac Day in Australia when we celebrate the sacrifices of soldiers since WW1 to present day. It is a date that comes from the Anzac (Australian & New Zealand Army Corps) soldiers who fell in the battle at Gallipoli.
What is usually forgotten is the role that animals, in particular horses, played in the wars. The treatment they received however was anything but honourable.
The Australian Waler Horse is well known for stamina, courage and strength. …
