...Policy and an expert on animals and religion, argues that it can also come from a misunderstanding of religious traditions. He notes that many preachers point to the passage in Genesis where God grants man “dominion” over the beasts of the wild as a blank check to treat animals at our will.

...subjects escape the artist's bleak skepticism. Still lifes tend to comment on the transience of things, but Goya's piles of lifeless fish and game lend unexpected violence to this theme: the white fur of a rabbit's belly exposes the wound where it was shot; the blank eyes of a lamb's skull look disconsolately at its butchered torso.

My Last Museum Piece, her 2003 reprise of an original 1969 work, consisted of a huge, clear plastic ball, its interior smeared with honey and buzzing with captive flies. She suffered a brain hemorrhage...

...mindset, it was clear from the outset that the battle for a spot in the ECAC finals would be tough one. The Big Red outshot the Crimson 10-8 in the first period and forced sophomore goaltender Kyle Richter to stop several prime goal-scoring opportunities, including a point-blank shot from Cornell forward Blake Gallagher. Ultimately, the tight, back-and-forth play and strong goalkeeping on both ends resulted in a scoreless opening period. The floodgates were opened when both teams managed to capitalize on power-play opportunities in the second period. Senior forward Dave Watters’ goal...
