I can't wait to meat you. It's going to be a hoot.
I'm a bit of a charmer though, lambs to the slaughter you might say. Bon't be a chicken, I want to duck you under the cover and carve you up all night. Woof!

I once bought a veggieburger from a kebab shop (never a good idea, I now admit)...

The case of the two police dogs found dead in a parked car raised a furore last week – and highlighted the inconsistent way we humans regard our fellow animals...

It used to be very simple. You could choose the “compassionate” route or the “who cares“ route. You could act in an “animal friendly” manner and become a vegetarian, or you could choose to go out hunting and enjoy a steak dinner. Not surprising; not that long ago there used to be just a couple of TV channels available, a few political ideologies to vote for, and a handful of religions to follow. But we now live in the era of choice. Not only there have never been more human neurons in this planet (about 700 quintillions to be precise) –all of them busy rationalising everything– but there has never been so many ways to connect ones with the others, even if they physically reside is skulls thousands of miles apart.
So, in this multi-ideological universe, becoming an “animal” person is not an easy task. If you have just arrived and would like to “join the club”, you’ll find yourself with this question: “which one?” There have never been so many “factions” in the animal protection movement to choose. So many, that I am sure there would be quite a few that would object of me calling it “animal protection” –and possibly quite a few more for calling it a “movement”. They will all have good epistemological and even political reasons for those objections, don’t get me wrong. I am all for “good defining” and systematization, as it will become apparent with this blog. But if I was a “beginner” –which I am not– I would find it difficult, even off-putting.
This is why I decided to create this blog. At risk of just “adding” another option on the table to make the whole thing even more confusing, I thought that it that option was a “sticky” one, one that unifies rather than divides, one that “agglutinates” different ideologies and approaches into one simpler and easier to accept, then it would be worth to try.

Bagpuss came to live with us in April 2009, though it was January that year when we first noticed him in our garden...

If say vivisection and/or factory farming (for whatever reason) were suddenly illegalized, I'm curious as to how people might deal with the prospect of going into such places and dealing with the situation. Whilst "dealing with" may not be the most sensitive way of putting it given what the victims are going through, I think such horrifying situations would be best "dealt with" in a methodical pre-thought out manner.
As the goal of most people on this site is to end such practices I think people in the veg*n movement need to consider the psychological and practical aspects of taking care of such situations.
