DawnWatch: PETA's Fish Empathy Project is first article in US News & World Report 1/10/04 For years, scientists made and shared the assumption that because their nervous systems are different from those of mammals, fish do not experience pain as we do. Therefore, not only did many otherwise vegetarian people continue to eat fish, otherwise compassionate people have fished, not just for food, but for sport, with "catch and release" fishing being a popular way to maintain lake populations. In some areas, the same fish might get caught between five or ten times. Recent stud...

DawnWatch: New York Times on Alaska Zoos elephant treadmill plans The Sunday, January 9. New York Times has a story about the Alaska Zoo's elephant, named Maggie. She is a lone elephant - unconscionable for such social animals, and suffers from Artic climate, so different from an elephant's natural environment.

The Black Book of U.S. Imperialism: Ward Churchill's Roosting Chickens 
Todd Gitlin, Paul Berman and assorted intellectuals of the “decent left” have earned their keep arguing that anti-imperialism is nothing but an echo chamber of nihilism, oedipal rage and tacit support for whomever the governing class declares the enemy.
