Ohmygoodness! I wasn't keeping track.

Excellent statement!

We live in a country with a bunch of goddamn sick, willfully ignorant people.

Zactly - Food for thought...

Before I read your post, I was going to post : "That hamburger you're eating once had a personality!"

Shamefully, I'm only a semi-vegetarian-- I still eat seafood (no octopus or squid), fish, chicken, & occasionally (holidays) beef & ham. I cannot watch my hubby & son eat their damn bloody steaks - once stayed in a restaurant's restroom until my son finished his.

I grew up on a farm where I got very emotionally attached to the critters.

Would most Americans eat dogs? Cats? Horses? Why not?

Where & how do folks draw their "lines"? We usually eat only what we've been conditioned to accept without thought.

Food for thought.

They accept donations...

Know any climate scientists?

NASA folks? Physicists?

I understand where you're coming from but you are in denial. There is no accessible "Planet B."

Big K&R

Significant finding.




My hubby is also a scientist, a physicist, who also get emotional when he's made big discoveries and breakthroughs (although retired now, he's currently writing the biggest paper of his life).
We non-scientists can relate to these peak experiences.

Wow. I always love dolphins stories.

Such intelligent "critter-people."

Dolphins deserve same rights as humans, say scientists"

Experts in philosophy, conservation and animal behaviour want support for a Declaration of Rights for Cetaceans.

They believe dolphins and whales are sufficiently intelligent to justify the same ethical considerations as humans.

Recognising their rights would mean an end to whaling and their captivity, or their use in entertainment.
