So, too, with our online babies – and this blog has required all the time and attention any other new life requires. On our first birthday, we promised a new website, which is now up and running, although still in the preliminary…

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…

About 70 captive bottle-nose dolphins are awaiting release back into the wide open sea thanks to the efforts of two animal care institutions under the supervision of international dolphin trainer-turned-rescuer Richard O’Barry.
Jakarta Animal Aid Network and the Earth Island Institute have built a 90-square-meter sea pen in Karimun Jawa National Park — the world’s largest for a dolphin rehabilitation program — to house the aquatic mammals temporarily before releasing them back into…

Veganism is the essential healing force that our culture desperately needs, because the mentality of domination that starts on our plates reverberates through our various cultural institutions as authoritarianism, oppression, and violence. Healing this mentality…

It is an accident of nature that we are here alone, if we can think that we are alone at all, as if humankind are the only “we” who matter.
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…

To all those who still use other animals as sources of food, clothing, entertainment, or anything else, I’d like to offer a simple observation and ask a simple question.
Looking at the world and our place in it, it seems simple enough to realize that when we are able to make things better for others without any cost to ourselves, we would do so. For if there were a way to feed a…
