The VegNews Animal Testing Legislation Controversy: A Response to the Response

Whether you’re a vegan, vegetarian, animal-rights activist, or combination thereof, you got there because you asked questions. You questioned yourself about why you loved some animals and ate others, and you questioned others about why humankind uses animals for clothing, for medical testing, or for entertainment. Questioning the status quo is exactly why many of us are the people we are today—and we should never let that quality go, especially questioning those who would hold a place of…

Vegans/Vegetarians on College Campuses

This is an interesting article. It's too long to post the whole thing here, so I'll just excerpt a couple of bits, but I encourage everyone to read the whole thing.

This part talks about the change in how people identify themselves in 2009-2010 compared to in 2005-2006.

Bon Appétit Management Co., which services Penn's dining facilities, has noticed an upswing in the number of students who say that they are vegetarian or vegan, said Terri Brownlee, the regional…

Thinking Animals ~ Tim Gier

Human beings generally pride themselves on their ability to think. We often give this as the primary characteristic that separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom. Humans are rational, the story goes, and no other animals are. Because of this, we see ourselves as entitled to rule the Earth, as we see fit, either as benevolent stewards or as the highest beings on the Great Chain of Beings. Humans are on top of the world and all other animals are beneath us. But it’s not so…

VegNews Magazine Endorses Animal Testing Legislation?

Many of us are concerned with the animal testing status of our cosmetics and skin care products.

Response to Oscar Horta’s Paper (“What Is Speciesism?”)

Thanks again, Kate, for the link to Oscar Horta’s paper, which I am very glad to have gotten. To avoid wasting space or being too tangential, I am responding to it here, rather than as part of the David Nibert dialogue. 

 

Professor Horta does a good job in laying out the philosophical options, and, in fact, ratifies my own point when he writes: “The term ‘anthropocentrism’ should be clearly distinguishable from ‘speciesism.’ These two words are not synonyms.” (p.…

My Birthday Wish | The Cove

I’ve come a long way in the last year after first viewing The Cove movie. It has launched me on a mission wherein I shall not back down or relent. I don’t get paid a single cent to do what I do. I do it simply because it is the right thing to do. I do it because I want my children to forever know that I did all that I could. The atrocities in…
