Stripping Away the Deforestation Blinders

It would be foolish to label the current rate of planetary deforestation as merely “frightening”. A detailed study regarding this truly terrifying issue should, in fact, stop the heart of every cognizant human being living on the planet, at least for a moment. Oddly enough, although we lose one and[...]

Are you an ally of life?

Many of you who spend so much of yourselves attempting to educate others in regard to the negative impacts that humanity has upon our world, understand what it is like to be attacked on a daily basis by deniers, abusers and the uninformed, in general. The vast numbers that stand[...]

Regarding parrots as companion animals

I am often asked about Gizmo and some people mention how interested they are in acquiring a parrot, so I decided that it was extremely important to state this candidly; I am not in support of parrots being bred as companion animals, nor do I promote anyone attempting to garner[...]

A cry from the wolves

My family is mostly gone. I watched the last hunter shoot my son as I tried to drag my daughter behind the trees to protect her. He fought the bullet inside him. He was so brave. I tried to reach him, but his last breath left him as his eyes[...]

In a world where human beings either consume or dispose of roughly seven hundred, fifty-thousand tons of beef per day(every pound costing some 16 pounds of edible grain and 2,500 gallons of fresh-water in terms of “resources” to produce), whilst over forty thousand human beings starve to death and another[...]

Vivisection: The Banality of Evil

Animal agriculture, in general(factory farmed or “free-range”) is responsible for the majority of all planetary deforestation. According to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change(UNFCCC) secretariat, the overwhelming direct cause of deforestation is indeed, agriculture. Subsistence farming(meaning self-sufficient) is responsible for 48% of all planetary deforestation and commercial agriculture(mainly[...]

Why should humans turn toward a vegetable-based diet for themselves, not only for the animals?

Why should humans turn toward a vegetable-based diet for themselves, not only for the animals? Human beings over-stress the planet to produce inordinate amounts of grain to feed animals that we label as “livestock”. Feeding the 50+ billion animals that we exploit, torture and slaughter each year has a vastly[...]

The animal product consumer’s extinction excuse?

Are we truly expected to believe that an animal product consumer’s poorly-conceived argument pertaining to “livestock” animals becoming extinct if humans no longer exploit, torture and kill them for food purposes, is based on a care for the animals’ well-being? One can not pretend to care for animals by devising[...]

The “free-range” security blanket

I do comprehend the public’s desire for a nice, cozy security-blanket, however, the difference between a corporate push, whether for or against “free-range” animal agriculture, makes no viable difference to life on this planet, including human life. Corporate lobbyists for the animal agriculture industry, who have been proponents of both[...]

Activists have no business promoting the agenda of corporate lobbyists

Please Note: Be advised that Charity Navigator has issued a donor advisory in reference to the Center for Consumer Freedom. Time and again, I have witnessed people who claim to be animal rights activists sharing the website links and Facebook posts supplied by the groups Humanewatch or Petakillsanimals, simply because[...]
