Wildlife impact?
What about the damage cruise ships can do to marine life? Especially ships that anchor near coral reefs? Does anyone know where I could find data on that? Robb Hughes Head of Sales and Marketing Green Meetup Find Green, Organic and Otherwise Eco-Friendly Products Here!

Nope but you guys called me nuts.....
when after the stimulas was passed and I said unemployment would exceed 10%. Also a couple of weeks ago I said my broker said to look out for October, looks like I might have to make some moves sooner. Obama screwed the goose, when they ''all guessed wrong,'' Biden.

Pepper, the stolen dog's legacy
The article leads readers to believe that dogs are no longer stolen for use in labs and furthermore that research no longer uses dogs- not true! medical research on dogs is alive and well! facilities buy from 'approved' and 'licensed' dealers, who buy from other 'legal' dealers often in other states- the process can become so convoluted that the ...

Animals in the Lab
This article really hit me in the gut. I remember my own experience in a prestigious neurophysiology lab, as a grad student with a cat. I was shocked to discover the cats were sentient with a wide range of emotional responses and obvious needs for comfort and attention. They purred when I approached and clearly wanted to be touched. My cats lived ...

Cat and bedtime
I sympathize with the girlfriend who finds sharing the bedroom with the cat strange. My husband felt the same way. Thought I was spoiling the animals. I introduced the first cat and now we've moved up to one cat, four dogs, and a bigger bed. Life moves on. Today's purrs may be exactly what is needed to mask tomorrow's snores. No arguing in the ...

Designer Dogs
On the bright side, it's the best example of Darwin at work that we have. The only difference is that we're the ones making the decisions instead of the ambient environment random chance. Over generations we have selectively bred the characteristics we dislike out of dogs and promoted the ones we do like. Natural selection does the same thing ...

Steinbeck described the vomiting.
I think it was in the 'The Red Pony', but it's been decades so I'm not sure. He writes a scene in which a vulture defends itself from a human attack and describes it much like it is described here. At the time, I thought ti was just a literary trick and not based on real-life bird behaviour. I guess it's just another example of Steinbeck's ...

What a load of crap (human, not cow)
Katz's articles are well written and wonderful... as pure fiction, since he seems totally unencumbered by a need for truth. The steers he blah blah blah's about as Spiritual Beings, he later has butchered without saying a word. I eat meat, I raise my own beef cows, and I care about all of my livestock deeply -- the ones destined for meat and the ...
