Animal Owners United -- Information about the legislation proposals that would limit or even take away your rights to own pets calling it "enslavement " by the animal rights advocates. Who is right?
Love is the answer -- Puts the question to non-vegetarians: "If you love animals called pets, why do you eat animals called dinner? I do not understand how you can fight for the rights of *some* non-human animals, and have absolutely no concern for the unspeakable horrors that "food" animals experience. "
Sowing Seeds of Compassion - by Joanne Stepaniak -- "There is a degree of irony in selectively applying compassion. It is as if there were truth to the slogan George Orwell''s characters in Animal Farm came to believe, ''All animals are created equal, but some are more equal than others.'' One example of this paradox is consumers who intentionally purchase "dolphin-free" tuna (i.e. tuna fishes that were caught and killed without injuring dolphins in the process). Their concern is solely for the dolphins (apparently because they are mammals, like us) with no regard for the dead tunas."
The Toronto Humane Society: an example of the enemy''s tactics -- A true story of infiltration by subversive elements. This is not an isolated case - Britain''s RSPCA is another example.
The fallacy of Animal Rights vs. Animal Welfarists -- Claims that "The distinction between animal rights "extremists" and animal welfarists was created in order to divide and supress the animal rights movement." Despite this dubious assertion, it does have some interesting points.
