An Olympic disgrace
The current spotlight on China's human rights record fails to illuminate its cruel and inhumane treatment of dogs and cats.
By Ted Kerasote [2008-03-24]

  • Consciousness of dogs

    The author says "Nonetheless, each one of them is a life, full of consciousness and joy, as anyone who has lived with a dog or cat knows."

    I think it's more accurate to say "as anyone who has anthropomorphized a dog or cat believes." Dogs may feel "joy" at dinnertime, but I think it's a stretch (or delusional thinking) to believe dogs or cats are "full of consiousness and joy."
