NPR’s video and transcript gave news yesterday that the FBI will now “track animal abuse the way it tracks arson or assault.” The research we’ve known about for decades is still spot on. Animal abusers, whether children or adults, are likely to extend their violence to humans. Jeffrey Dahmer, Son of Sam, school shooters, gangs. All animal […]

Ew, a Hare in my Whole Foods Rabbit Stew

The Dominion of Mathew Scully and Sarah Palin
How sad that Mathew Scully, a vegan, animal advocate, and author of Dominion, is now writing for Sarah Palin. He must appreciate publicity and money much more than a clear conscience. Anyone who believes he is doing it in hopes of influencing Palin to cease hunting, keep the polar bears on the endangered list (she […]
