The modern animal movement is commonly dated from the publication of Peter Singer’s “Animal Liberation” in 1975. I take exception to that demarcation, as I have been an animal activist since 1958. In any event, the movement has been working for decades to end animal suffering. Most efforts have been aimed at rescuing cats and…
Societal changes are glacially slow. Four hundred years of slavery in America. Five hundred years before women could vote. And the enslavement, exploitation, and murder of animals since the Dawn of Time. Each day One Hundred Fifty Million animals are brutally murdered in slaughterhouses. Six million per hour. One hundred thousand while you read these…
Political pundits and media talking heads are making much of the demonstration that forced Donald Trump to postpone a rally in Chicago on Friday. They are complaining of racism and divisiveness. Of fascism and intolerance. And all are quick to suggest that Donald Trump himself is to blame for the clashes of Trump supporters and…

Status updates on Facebook disappear into the ether and cannot be relocated by readers. Before you leave, please take a moment to follow this blog by clicking on Follow in the…
Hard as that is to believe, it is a reasonable conclusion to be drawn from the overwhelming votes they provided to Hillary Clinton in recent Democratic primaries and caucuses. Hillary is the candidate of the status quo. Indeed, a compelling case can be made that she is more conservative than is the status quo. Blacks…
Progressives supported Obama believing we would really see change in government. Instead we got TPP (the Trans Pacific Partnership), Wall Street lobbyists appointed to almost every agency in Washington, Monsanto executives at Agriculture, Big Oil hacks in Energy and Commerce, Big Bank operatives running Treasury, Big Pharma controlling the FDA, Big Ag calling the shots…
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals kills animals. Tens of thousands of them. By their own admissions. PETA is not an animal rights organization, nor are they an animal protection organization. PETA is an anti-animal suffering organization. Ingrid Newkirk, who runs the operation, believes that eliminating the possibility of animal suffering is more important…
“Animal Rights” is a much used term. One that is as common as it is misunderstood. Many, if not most, animal activists are unclear on what Animal Rights means. It is usually used in an exclamatory context to emphasize one’s support for animal issues or to oppose animal cruelty and exploitation. But one can be…
There is only so much time in a day, only so many days in our lives. Do not waste one precious minute of your life arguing with people who defend eating meat, wearing fur, or voting for conservatives. If they are opposed to your position on animals, stop right there! It is a stupid waste…
My purpose online, indeed, my purpose in life, is to radicalize the animal movement. Animal Rights has been my full time avocation for twenty years. I am not here for self-aggrandizement or personal popularity. I run campaigns and my blog out of own pocket. Everything I do is for the animals. And i have enough…
