Animal Writings

These two posts are from an exceptional but, I'm afraid, short-lived blog: Compassion Is Common Sense:

Head of fur industry: J Crew "didn't want headache" offers biting commentary on the double-talk and self-serving, circular illogic used by corporations that sell fur and consumers that buy it.

Why we fight: it gets very personal is a chilling post that compels the reader to make the connection between our companion animals at home and ones who may look and act very much the same if given the chance but who are brutally tortured and slaughtered for the fur trade.

"Compassion Is Common Sense" (CICS) is hard-hitting. These days. "hard-hitting" is usually a euphemism for "yelling," but CICS is hard-hitting because a) it takes on tough topics, and b) with skill and passion it articulates a pro-animal, compassionate position while deftly refuting anti-animal arguments and propaganda. But, alas, the blog seems to come to an end in December 2005. All I know about this superb blog's author is that according to his post signatures his name is Ed. Ed—come back!
