David Borg Cardona writes another of his series of pro-hunting letters. I shall not reproduce it in full, only because most of it has nothing of interest to animal rights advocates and campaigners. The complete letter, entitled “The rationality of hunting”, may be read in The Times.

Foie gras prohibition has been repealed in Chicago, and it comes as no surprise. Mayor Richard Daley was hell-bent on defeating the ban from the get-go.

Mr Borg Cardona writes:

For today’s entry, I originally set out to review Thanking the Monkey: Rethinking the Way We Treat Animals (Harper Collins, 4/29/08, $19.95), a forthcoming book written by my friend, Karen Dawn, but I ended up churning out a somewhat rambling essay instead, which some of you faithful readers may have come […]

One look at the hunter federation (FKNK) website, and one may judge for oneself whether to call “comic writing” this blog or else the official website of the FKNK.
In the FKNK news section, under the heading “Patriotic Maltese”, dated April 22, you will find the following:
“PRESS RELEASE:

I’ve been to FARM’s national AR conference twice now, and I’m returning again this summer, from August 14th-18th. I’ve found the […]

Last Sunday, my spousal unit and I celebrated our 6th veganniversary. That is, we marked the 6th anniversary of the day that I chose to go vegan and my wife more or less went along with it (took her awhile to finish off the honey).

I adopted your dog today…
The one you left at the pound;
The one you had for ten years
And no longer wanted around.
I adopted your dog today…
Did you know that he’s lost weight?
Did you know he’s scared and depressed
And seems to have lost all faith?
I adopted your dog today…
He had […]

Let me immediately state clearly that it is not my style to ridicule people. However, it seems like some people heap ridicule upon themselves, both by replying to rational arguments in a ridiculous fashion, and also by constantly trying to ridicule people who make sensible claims.
Following yesterday’s article and my […]
