So we've totally messed up the way that dogs (and cats too) live in the world. They're genetically modified organisms that live compromised lives. But is the solution to the problem we've created to…Continue

Roy Gordon replied to Tim Gier's discussion Most Animals in U.S are killed by Cats"And when you account the animals killed for study, during environmental manipulation, and plain amusement, the number becomes so vast you have, in comparison, a pair of sunglass lenses made of wool, fitting right over the eyes.

Roy Gordon replied to Tim Gier's discussion Most Animals in U.S are killed by Cats"There was a mass extinction event we have all heard about when the dinosaurs died. 90% of animal species became extinct. The next most major extinction event is not even on the list. It is not recognised. This…"

Carolyn Bailey replied to Tim Gier's discussion Which chat did this person witness?"It's interesting that, almost two years on, Corey Wrenn continues to misrepresent and make ridiculous accusations about other advocates and organisations that she clearly doesn't understand. I pity anyone who lives with such hatred,…"
Carolyn Bailey replied to Tim Gier's discussion Most Animals in U.S are killed by Cats"Hi Kerry, Do you have any information that I can read further about the programme in Melbourne you spoke of above, please? "
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…"
Monique replied to Tim Gier's discussion Most Animals in U.S are killed by Cats"Nath's other point should not be overlooked, though. The feeding of cats and dogs causes the abuse and slaughter of millions of farm animals. Carnivores kill or get us to kill for them."
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…"
Nath Miles replied to Tim Gier's discussion Most Animals in U.S are killed by Cats"Winograd sees it as a crime if a shelter euthanizes a dog or cat. But yet supports the routine slaughter of millions and millions of so called “farm animals” to feed the so called companion animals. He is also happy to see the decimation…"

Oscar Horta - Why Animal Suffering is Overwhelmingly Prevalent in Nature

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…"

It seems like Rob Johnson just can’t let go of his obsession with ARZone.
