...implicit higher value on human life than animal life. We humans do not have a right to consider ourselves so superior that we can use other animals' live to save our own. We are discriminating on the basis of species. But we already do that. Cat food contains meat including tuna, poultry, and veal. We must have decided at some time that our cats' lives were more important than the animals we're feeding them. By keeping some animals as pets, we are automatically condemning others to suffering. In 1987, 5 million British housecats killed an estimated 70 million small...
...feeling fit even though it serves mainly as a coat rack; acquiring the Martha oeuvre makes you think you will conduct a beautiful domestic symphony one of these days--when the kids grow up, when you lose your day job and perhaps the lunkhead you've married who likes meat loaf and ketchup. The magazine and television show bearing her name and developed with Time Inc. (she and the company are talking about restructuring the relationship) have a Merchant-Ivory movie-set glow. Actual people, as opposed to imported guests, would really mess...

...long monster similar in size to the North American Allosaurus but far leaner and presumably quicker as well; the scientists named it Deltadromeus agilis, or "agile delta runner." A few days later, Sereno came up with an even more spectacular find: the skull of another meat eater whose head, at least, was a shade bigger than that of the 45-ft.-long Tyrannosaurus rex, traditionally considered the largest predator ever to have walked the earth...
...your advisers tell you that the right loves cheap, nasty issues, and you have to be cheap and nasty to please them. This is a common misconception of moderate conservatives. Reagan spoke to the right as if they were equals; he never had to throw them raw meat because he never thought they were animals. And don't let the liberals in the party fuzz up the message. The conservatives are still small town and small pocket; the liberals are the moneybags of Team 100 who used to be entrepreneurs and lately are lobbyists. They're proabortion and disdain...
