Fighting for animal liberation and an end to speciesism
In a recent very interesting Facebook discussion, Tim Gier wrote (in part, and perhaps it is unfair to extract this out - but I'm gonna anyway!), “I don’t accept that the property status of other animals necessarily entails harm towards them.”
[I began to write a response to Tim’s observation for the FB discussion - but then realised that I was writing a blog entry, so that is why I have decided to post it here instead. In addition, I have not written a blog entry for a while,…

What is a counterfactual and why should you care? Suppose that I say, “If only Thomas Jefferson had championed the cause of the abolition of slavery then slavery in America would have been abolished when the United States was founded.” That’s a counterfactual. It poses a solution to a problem (or a cause for some effect) that runs counter to the facts as we know them. Why should you care? Because, staying with the example, it the counterfactual was true, then supposedly we would know…

Spend any time online and sooner or later you will witness someone accuse someone else of using an Ad Hominem attack. Most of the time, the accuser is mistaken. Consider the following two examples:
1. “Prof. Guy Frangelini is abrasive, arrogant, egotistical and mean-spirited. Given that, I choose to avoid him and his most loyal followers at all…

In the eyes of the animal, looking back at me, I see the stark vitality, the raw reality. Confronted with this immediacy of innocence, this essence of being, I recoil, and frightened by the reflection of my own insignificance, I strike out against her, struggling to save my self through separation and subjugation.
I am lost,…

“If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be a vegetarian.” ~ Sir Paul McCartney
There are horrors being committed in our names and for our benefit thousands of times each minute in feed lots, on dairy farms, in processing plants and in slaughterhouses across the globe. If Sir Paul is to be believed, if only we could see these horrors as they…

Some time ago, Rob Johnson wrote a criticism of ARZone which, given my experience with Rob’s previous critiques of ARZone and of things I have written, I chose to ignore. (I reproduced the entire post below, and added my comments where appropriate.) In the last day or so, in another venue, Rob has taken me to task for ignoring his post about ARZone, as he thinks it represents something of a damning indictment of that site and its methodology. Therefore, I will take the time now to respond to…

There was a time, and not that long ago, when other hairless apes walked the earth beside us, sharing the same places, living similar lives, fearing the same fates. It’s mere chance that we, the “wise man”,Homo sapiens, survived…

"ARZone is facilitating and exacerbating the confusion about animal ethics by acting as a showcase for new welfarists, who are presented in a format that does not allow for any effective challenging of their claims.”
~ Gary Francione, writing at the Abolitionist Approach forum.
In your opinion, Professor Francione, in your opinion. Now, I realize that in the circles you run, your opinion is gospel, but out here in the real…

That’s a lot of people!
If only 1% of them are vegan, that means that there are 67 Million vegans walking the earth right now. That’s a lot of people too!

That’s it in a nutshell. That’s all the argument comes down to. That’s all they have to say. There’s no other justification. There’s no other reason or rationale. That is the essence of their world view.…

Bill Clinton has adopted a “near vegan” diet, you can watch his interview with CNN to listen to him talk about it. I’m happy that Mr. Clinton has removed himself in some ways from the long chain of abuses we human beings have
