Nov 18, 2008 - That's big Ag always adapting animals to fit thier needs (dairy, cutting off beaks, hormones, artificial insemination, antibiotics, unnatural diet, gestation crates, battery cages etc.) This control doesn't even touch the environmental evils of factory farming/fast food.... Go Vegan!

Nov 18, 2008 - All hats off to Peter Singer.The first seeds of animal rights movements was sowed in the East (modern day northern India) where philosophies like Buddhism and Jainism (they are atheistic philosophies on contrary to the popular belief that they being religions) advocate compassion for all beings and their reciprocal right to this earth. And that was more than 2500 years ago!!!!
