Size Of Tiger Brain Challenges Scientific Assumptions About Social Animals

Jentsch harms both animals and people
2009-06-03 04:56:00 If Jentsch's work is so crucial, why doesn't he volunteer himself or members of his family as test subjects?Forwarded to TPC by See You in the StreetsAuthor unknown6/1/09J. David Jentsch (pronounced "Yench") uses primates in addiction studies. Interestingly, the article written about him in the Los Angeles Times ends with his saying that animals don't suffer the psychosocial pain that underlies addiction. Jentsch has therein unwittingly cited and acknowledged one of the arguments made by the animal rights movement!Substance abuse is clearly an area of inquiry that lends itself admirably to human clinical studies. People, unlike animals, can dialogue with the examiner and discuss their experiences with addiction. Millions of dollars squandered to make tweakers out of monkeys could be allocated for educational and counseling programs to identify and address the socioeconomic and psychodynamic underpinnings of addiction in populations at risk for use of intoxicants.Here are another ...
Minding the Animals: Ethology and the Obsolescence of Left Humanism
2009-05-16 01:10:00 By STEVEN BEST[Also published in The International Journal of INCLUSIVE DEMOCRACY, Vol. 5, No. 2 Spring 2009]"We do not regard the animals as moral beings. But do you suppose the animals regard us as moral beings? ? An animal which could speak said: 'Humanity is a prejudice of which we animals at least are free.'? --Friedrich Nietzsche What does it mean to be ?human?? The question, though it has occupied some of the greatest Western minds of philosophy, science, history, and political theory, could not have been answered with any plausibility until recently, for we have only begin to acquire the scientific knowledge necessary to provide an informed response. At the same time, recent scientific and technological developments have produced radical and vertiginous change. The possibilities of artificial intelligence, robotics, cloning, pharmacology, stem cell research, and genetic modification pose entirely new challenges for attempts to define ?human? in fixed and essentialist rathe...
Komodo Dragon...Marauding Dragons on a Desolate Island
2009-05-14 17:31:00 Marauding Dragons on a Desolate IslandThe world's largest lizard (up to 3 meters long) only needs one bite to infect its prey, and then it will stalk it - patiently, cold-bloodedly - until it keels over; and yes, if no living prey is available, it will gladly dig up human graves...The Komodo dragon is the closest thing to a dinosaur that we have today on Earth, and to the "epic fantasy" wicked dragons. Its teeth are covered in bleeding tissue, its mouth copiously bleeds every time it feeds, drooling venomous saliva and flicking its long yellow forked tongue. Certainly, these ancient critters are dangerous, awesome and unique (get ready for the "Predator vs. Komodo Dragons" movie). "Komodo dragons have become a noted topic in the press recently after an Indonesian fisherman was mauled and killed while trespassing on Komodo island. Now, what was this fisherman doing on the island in the first place you ask? Searching for lost treasure? Nope. Saving a damsel in distress? Nope? appare...
He no longer heard the cries of the animals or saw the flowing blood?.
2009-05-09 10:06:00 [Author's Note: I'm dedicating this piece to the courageous animal defenders and rescuers comprising the ALF, the Justice Department, the Animal Liberation Brigade, and the other militant direct action groups who are taking the fight to vivisectors and the rest of their ilk comprising the animal exploitation complex. Given the relentless nature of the systemic torment and slaughter of millions of other sentient beings that take place day after day, violent responses from nonhuman animal lovers are inevitable and are a morally acceptable means of extensional self-defense on behalf of the voiceless, defenseless victims. As my close colleague, Dr. Jerry Vlasak, surmised---and I back him 100% on this---the assassination of a vivisector or two would probably save millions of nonhuman animal lives. And given the escalating situation at UCLA, who knows what may happen? Employing myriad tactics and strategies, those of us pursuing empty cages will prevail, and, as another steadfast ally o...
