Animal Rights and Abuse

gay chicken nuggets

Dogs are allowed to travel on the bus but it is the drivers discretion, if he doesn't like the look of your dog then its no! I think you have to pay a child's fee for your dog too but not 100% on that.

In Ottawa they probably won't let your dog on the bus unless he is a seeing eye dog.

If your dog doesn't look like it would attack any of his other passengers then the driver doesn't have a problem with letting you travel, another reason you might be refused is if it is rush hour and his bus is packed he might say no then but majority of the time the driver doesn't have a problem wi dogs

I guess it is a matter of opinion. In my opinion it is wrong and that is because animals are living breathing creatures too, they cry out in pain and they suffer just as humans do. If the shoe were on the other foot and we were the ones being tortured... tested on by some higher power I'm sure any human would think that were wrong.

No Pantene does NOT test on animals. IF they did, they would be in SO much trouble. If you know/think a shampoo DOEs test in animals, TELL someone, or a authority. HOPE I HELPED!

I have found the average lifespan of a black horse to be about twenty to thirty years. It does not matter if the horse is black, white or whatever color the horse is.

We are recycling and not littering so trees don't need to be cut down. We can also give money so that animals and their habitats are protected. we also use waterproof sun lotion because if it wash's off, the chemicals will posion and kill the fish and plants. coral is also technically an animal and because it is so sensitive to changes to the surroundings you can't touch it or pollute the water in any way because your skin oils will kill it and the entire reef could die. The other ways by which we are helping them is by subduing poachers. animals like the bengal tiger are bieng poached everyday. they catch the tigers in man traps and either beat them to death or they pierce its mouth to kill it. the rich masterminds get tigerskins smuggled out of the country to be used as clothing, rugs,bedsheets etc.

dear questioner, what you should do is ask the manufacturers or look on the web. honey im a vegetarian so dont worry, you can call on me xxx tootles.

Indeed it is. They take their skin and fur and create an expensive coat for posh, rich ladies to wear. That is one of the GREATEST reasons why there are so many endangered animals and extinct! Take for example the tiger = it's skin is beautiful and many hunters think that too so they hunt them so now there are basically ZERO = 0 tigers left in the wild. Very sad don't you think?

They kill dogs for fur too.

Often people abandon animals when they can not afford to care for them properly. I some cases they have somehow ended up with more animals than they can care for by reckless or uncontrolled breeding. Sometimes people move and are unable to take animals with them.

All 50 states have some type of laws concerning Animal Abuse & Cruelty. In most states the abuse is only a misdemeanor but 30 states have realized what a crime this really is and have included felony level statutes for certain forms and kinds of animal abuse. Animal abusers need to be watched carefully for almost every serial killer began experimenting with the abuse of animals.

Well I think that everyone wants to help stop animal abuse. If they don't than something is seriously messed up with them. One way you could help stop animal abuse would be to blog about your thoughts or feelings about the issue. If you are a hands on person then you could to your closest animal shelter and they should have programs. Programs like how to resue animals from abusive owners and things like that. You could also look for a career in this kind.

Well, there really isn't because some people are stupid and want to hurt the percious little animals. I don't want to hurt them, because animals are a mans' best friend, for example, a dog. But back to the topic, there is, but there isn't. It's really hard to explain. Sorry dude.

Yes there is and its simple, JUST SAY SOMETHING, SPEAK UP

animals need love and care just as much as they need food and water

if you see someone doing this or worse just speak up maybe if the owner realizes that he is doing something wrong he will try and correct his or hers ignorance, if things still dont improve call the local humane society or animal control. of and joing the ASPCA would also be a good start

Inbreeding magnifies the genetic defects of any type of animal. Also, people who run the puppy mills may get in over their heads as far as being able to properly care for the number of puppies they generate.

That's an excellent question. I can't answer it definitively, but I can tell you where "the movement" seems to be heading based on present trends and conditions. (I use the quotes because I don't think what we have right now can necessarily be called a movement.)

Animal Rights activists and intellectuals have never been a homogenous group, but party lines are becoming more powerful and more divisive. There are two major schools right now: the abolitionists and the new welfarists. Abolitionists maintain that the animals as property paradigm must be, well, abolished. They argue for the personhood of all sentient beings and adopt the practice of veganism.

New welfarists on the other hand generally seek to improve the conditions of animals within the status quo, rather than transforming the status quo itself. You can find a mix of vegans, vegetarians, and meat-eaters in this group. The ASPCA and the Humane Society would fall into this category. You can find them here:

http://www.aspca.org/about-us/policy-positions/

and here:

http://www.hsus.org/about_us/statements/

"Happy Meat"--which seems to be an egregious oxymoron to me--evolved out of the NW platform. Happy Meat, in case you don't know, a market-driven half-justice in which animals are treated as humanely as possible before they're slaughtered. (Full disclosure: I'd fall into the Abolitionist category).

These two groups do not get along and there is little to no cooperation between them. So "Animal Rights" might be falling into a two-party system, which is inauspicious given the lack of success in ... other areas dominated by two parties.

Be that as it may, veganism, vegetarianism, and people generally concerned with what they implicitly support with their grocery store purchases are becoming a more mainstream phenomenon. This has both positive and negative implications. On the upside, more people are beginning to recognize the current conditions of animal life are horrible, and that these conditions are entirely produced by humans. On the downside, our consumer economy has found a way to make us feel better about exploiting animals by exploiting them a little less and calling it Happy Meat and other such minimal-sacrifice products available to us. In my opinion, and the opinion of those with many more credentials (see below), is an insidious palliative. It makes people who are genuinely concerned believe they are being progressive when they are actually still supporting an inherently and violently exploitative paradigm.

Okay, so obviously I have strong opinions here, and thank you for reading through them. I found some sources that you might be interested in looking into. On the abolitionist front, Gary Francione, a law professor at Rutgers, is the most prolific and probably the most influential. You can find his blog here:

http://www.abolitionistapproach.com/

It will give you a very clear idea of Abolitionism and where this school wants to see AR move. Bob Torres is another such writer. He's not as prolific as Francione, but he's earlier in his career. His blog is here:

http://www.abolitionistapproach.com/

Torres also hosts a radio show that can be found here:

Both Torres and Francione are PhDs. AR is finding a niche in academic disciplines, although it isn't necessarily called "Animal Rights." There is now an academic journal dedicated entirely what is emerging as "Critical Animal Studies." It's called, not surprisingly, The Journal of Critical Animal Studies, and it's available to the public in fulltext here:

http://www.criticalanimalstudies.org/JCAS/index.htm

In addition to "Critical Animal Studies," "Post-Humanism" is a new academic focus that has evolved out of animal rights discourse. Both of these discourses tend to situate the idea of "species" as a cultural convention rather than a biological absolute. Which sounds odd, I know. Perhaps this can be more clearly articulated by saying that the classification of sentient beings for the purpose of attaching meanings and values to them is a cultural practice, not the result of biology.

Finally, a lot of AR intellectuals and activists are situating animal exploitation a component of an a larger exploitative system. (This is part of an academic trend in "intersectionalism," which in turn is being superseded by the suspiciously similar "assemblage" model of identity) Carol J. Adams' The Sexual Politics of Meat, for example, looks at the mutually reinforcing objectification of animals and women. You can find her book on Amazon here:

http://www.amazon.com/Sexual-Politics-SEXUAL-POLITICS-ANNIV/dp/B001TVHYP8/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1255524739&sr=8-6

Finally, if you'd like a general primer on Animal Rights theory, the Animal Rights LIbrary has several lengthy excerpts from important writers from Montaigne to Tom Regan:

So, in sum, as a movement, animal rights is evolving into two discrete schools of thought, while simultaneously branching out to include the exploitation of the human groups as part of the analysis of animal exploitation.

I'll be checking in periodically, so if you have any more questions, I'd be happy to help.

no,they can"t they are really not just reagulur spiders

Penguins eat krill, squids, and fishes. Food intake varies with the ammount and variety of food available from different areas, at different times of the year. They feed at sea and catch the prey with their bills and swallow it whole while swimming. <3

There is no variety of tick that can fly. Ticks wait in tall grass and shrubs, or sometimes in cracks and crevices in the ground, until able to attach to a passing host. Ticks do not jump or fly, and must be in physicl contact for the passing to a host to take place. Sometimes, however, ticks may drop from their perch and fall onto a host.

A lot about 4 children die everyday because of child abuse. Child abuse is a terrible thing.

Most of the states, except a few in the South have given up the controversial carnival game. The few states that haven't banned the game have included:

Texas, Mississippi, Arizona, Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida, Georgia, and few others.

The Indus River Valley is located in what is now India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iran.

I think it depends on the product, my lip gloss (L.A. Colors Moisturizing Lipgloss) has a cruelty free sticker on it, but my eyeshadow (L.A. Colors 5 Colors Metallic Eyeshadow palette BES431 "Darling") Does not.
