Important to highlight in this outrageous story: The 9-year-old girl, freed from social conditioning and social pressure, regarded her goat Cedar as a pet. Of course, these animals give and receive love, just like dogs and cats. washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/04…

Kudos to American Heart Association for trying to educate people about the dangers of keto and paleo diets. As we would expect, the top-rated diets in the AHA study all promote consumption of fresh produce, whole grains, beans and other plants and whole foods. washingtonpost.com/wellness/2023/…

The ethicist Peter Singer has it right: There is no ethical justification for treating animals like machines for converting feed into meat, milk and eggs. It is wrong to ignore the interests of sentient beings because they are not members of our species. nytimes.com/2023/04/22/opi…

This story in the washpo is both fascinating and infuriating. We love the lead though: "Why, she wondered, were we consuming the breast milk of another animal?" washingtonpost.com/business/2023/…

This move makes consummate sense for a number of reasons, including one not mentioned in this article: Veganism is truly the highest form of keeping kosher! forward.com/fast-forward/5…

While we're a little disappointed that Nicholas Kristof tries to justify eating some animals, we nonetheless salute him for stating that animal rights are "an idea whose time has arrived." nytimes.com/2023/06/10/opi…

We don't really need science to tell us that insects feel pain. All you need is common sense and your own observations: Insects normally try to avoid and escape from anyone seeking to do them harm. scientificamerican.com/article/do-ins…
