I just got an email containing a press release from a PR firm on behalf of Mercy for Animals. In the press release, Mercy for Animals praises cage-free eggs: With the enactment of Prop 2, California is leading the way towards a society in which farmed animals are treated with the respect they so rightly […]
In this article, HSUS happy exploitation czar Paul Shapiro complains that the American Humane Association American Humane Certified Label, which will be on Butterball turkeys this Thanksgiving, is inadequate: Paul Shapiro, vice president for farm-animal protection for the watchdog group Humane Society of the United States, gave an even harsher assessment: “It’s an industry-friendly standard […]
Professor Francione heeft een dierenrechtentheorie ontwikkeld, die zich enkel baseert op de eigenschap van bewustzijn in niet-mensen, en die vereist dat de uitbuiting van dieren wordt afgeschaft, niet enkel gereguleerd. Professor Francione’s theorie, zoals beschreven in Introduction to Animal Rights: Your Child or the Dog? (Temple University Press, 2000) verschilt aanzienlijk van andere theorieën, zoals […]

We should not judge another person because we can’t really see into her or […]
The Problem: Treating Humans and Nonhumans Differently I maintain that if we cannot morally justify animal exploitation, we ought not to be advocating for (supposedly) more “humane” or “happy” animal exploitation. Some of my reasons for my position are more practical. For example, I do not think that the welfare reforms that are the subject […]
I was recently in one of the two Whole Foods in my area. I passed by the meat counter and I saw the signs about how the animals whose corpses are sold by Whole Foods are so very well treated. I saw people buying “happy” meat. And I heard a shopper say to an employee […]
According to this article: India has officially recognized dolphins as non-human persons, whose rights to life and liberty must be respected.
