What animal should my evil character turn into? In my story people can turn into a specific animal. I can't think of an animal the evil MC should turn into. The animals they turn into should reflect their personality. My character worships ice and death, he's just evil; no other way to put it. So what kind of animal should he turn into? PS His name is Skadi.
How important is animal life to you? Nice Guy Wrote in a previous question: “Matt has basically stated that animals are equally important as humans. I'm sorry, but no animals life has as much importance or relevance as that of a human. For one to think that an animals life is just as important as his own is absurd. Can anyone possibly believe that the life of a pig, cow, or chicken can even compare to the life of a human being?” How do you feel about this? Does an animal's interest in living have any weight in our deciding how we treat said animal? How is an animal's interest in continued existence qualitatively any different than our own? I'm not trying to give Nice Guy a hard time, I just think this is something that should be discussed, and his answer provides a good starting point. We have some real deep thinkers responding so far. Beebs' Answer sort of misses the point of this question. But to the point it does adress I could not agree more. What I would like people to ponder is that animals have the same interest in their continued existence that you do yours. We have no morally relevant reason to respect a human's interest in continued life wile denying to afford animals the same consideration. @ Niceguy, I wrote you a responce but it is too long to fit here. You can find it here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/veggiefacts/message/58 Take care -Matt @ Nice guy: I’m fairly disappointed in your last post. If you want to debate these issues then lets go. If not, then don’t pretend to engage in one and then back out mid discussion. You say “I believe my goal of simply reducing animal suffering to a minimum, is simply more realistic than that of abolishing it.” And I give you plenty of reasons (and there are plenty more) as to why that will never happen, which you make no attempt to address. You also say, “And though veganism can perhaps make a very small difference, I don't think it can, will, or ever has lead to any significant noticeable change.” I find this a very curious statement to make seeing as the term “Vegan” has only been around for about seventy years, and the theory of abolition has only been with us for thirty years. Animal welfare on the other hand has been around for at least two hundred years, or if you consider India then around 2000 would be more accurate... I fail to see your historical basis for making the claim that Veganism and abolition cannot create change, it has not had the chance to. Finally, a Vegan diet (or very near Vegan diet) can work for everyone. Read the China Study. Also who are these “credible sources” that claim to be against a Vegan diet? Name names, I’m sure it would be interesting to see just how credible they really are. First, in response to your comments regarding the health of Vegans, I used “very near vegan diet” in parentheses after the words “Vegan diet” The near Vegan diet was referring to Dr. Dean Ornish’s early work in reversing heart disease. The “Vegan diet” which appeared out of parentheses referenced all other works by prominent scientists such as, Dr. T Colin Campbell, and Dr. Neal Barnard. Even the American Dietetic Association agrees that a Vegan diet is completely healthy by saying, “Well-planned vegan and other types of vegetarian diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including during pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood and adolescence.” Second, with regard to your “intuition” about the animal rights movement, I guess we are just expected to take your opinion because you do not “foresee” a radical change in people’s diet? I think you were right, we are done here in regards to Animal Rights Vs. Animal Welfare. . You obviously are ignorant to even the most basic augments from each side, let alone the state of the movement and the struggle that is taking place for the grass-roots sections of the movement to beat back the corporate welfare groups that have done nothing but retard growth. In sum, your information about the healthfulness of Veganism is outdated at best, misinformed at worst, and your “intuition” about the possibilities and direction of the Animal Rights movement is just plain wrong.

What animal should I make my clay whistle sculpture in art? I have never used clay before, so I need an easy clay animal to make. I must make a whistle out of clay and then turn it into an animal. For example, somebody made a whistle and then sculpted a dragon around it. You blow into its tail and the whistle sound comes out of its mouth. If you don't get it, just tell me some animals that will be easy to make out of clay. I think it will be approximately 12cm long.
What animal species has the greatest aggregate weight? If you take all the dogs in the world and put them on a scale, they would have some weight. What I want to know is: for what animal is that aggregate weight the greatest? One way to figure the aggregate weight is (avg weight per animal) x (# of animals on earth). So, elephants weigh a lot, but there aren't too many of them. Flies are very light, but there's an awful lot of them. Which has the greater aggregate weight?
What animal is usually one to cuddle with humans? I know animals do have different personalities, but what animal will actually want to cuddle with you, and get under the cover of your bed and sleep with you? I know there are certain breeds of cats and dogs, but what else? I know I can't sleep with a bird, but I need a cuddly animal into my life. Yes, I do plan on adopting, I mean, why buy a companion? Anyways, any advice on species?
What kind of animal related job is good for me? I've been doing research on different animal related careers, but I haven't really found one that interests me. I usually make straight A's, but I will have an occasional B. I want a job where I can interact with the animals (preferably exotic animals, so no cats and dogs), I pass out at the sight of blood, I want a good paying job (it's not my main priority), and I DON'T want to study animals. I rather do something dealing with blood than that. Websites would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

animal right activists make it hard for companies in Ireland to advertise positions. How do I find these jobs?

(or did they come about at the same rate?) Are organisms like bacteria more closely related to plant or animal life? How did plant life begin? Intuitively, we sense there is something different about plant life from animal life - but what exactly is that difference? There are plants that can move quickly, like a Venus Flytrap, and animals that act more the way we think plants would act, like a sea anemone. Thanks for your answers!
What are your thoughts about animal abuse? I was just wondering what some of your thoughts on animal abuse are? I personally can't believe people can do that to a living breathing animal.

How can I go about starting my own Animal Shelter in my county? My husband and I and a friend of ours is wanting to start a Animal Shelter in our county because we don't have one. And the other counties won't handle animals out of their counties so, we have all kinds of animals on the streets that don't have homes or places to go for clean water and clean food or a cool place to lay down and rest their heads. And we love animals with all our hearts and want to try and do something about it. Right now, we take in unwanted animals and free animals that people can't get rid of and turn around and sell them, then we know that once someone buys them at least they will have a good home and a good life. But you can't always be sure of that. But please if anyone could give me advice or information on how to go about doing this I would sure appreciate it. Thanks Crystal.

How does an animal react to another animal infected with rabies? If one member of a pack (any animal) is infected with rabies, it seems likely that it would be likely for the infected member to infect all the others and end up killing the group.

What animal has the largest color spectrum? What animal has the widest range of visible colors?

What animal holds a special place in your heart? I have the cutest cat in the world. She is just a mixed breed, but looks kind of like a burmese.

What are the alternatives to animal testing? When researchers need to develop a drug or medication that will ultimately benefit multitudes of people, they turn to certain animals for tests and trials. Animals have provided us with many answers regarding a vast amount of human diseases of illnesses over the years. As a famous ad once said: "They've saved more lives than 911." For those of you who are opposed to all forms of animal testing, would you please give suggestions or alternatives to these methods? I'm sure many of you already have some good ideas. Human testing is a good point, except it's pretty much illegal. 911 as in emergency response...but ok.

Do you think animals shelters have a responsibility to tell adopting families why the animal ended up there? Like, if a dog was in the shelter because it has severe behavioral problems, should they let people know, or should they withhold that information because it might not get adopted otherwise? My shelter gives almost no information about the animals there, and my friends have ended up adopting some real problem animals because of it. So, do animal shelters have a responsibility to tell adopting families why that animal is in a shelter, or is it often in the animal's best interest not to?

She hated Air Bud, but loved Black Beauty. Any suggestions?

Thanks agian.
What is the largest domestic animal you can think of? I would like to own a very large animal one day, I was going to go with two Great Pyreneeses. Probably still will one day. Mastiffs are cool and all, but they have a tendency of drooling a lot. Larger animals, like dogs, are best because they can keep me warm at night and are great friends. I won't get one until I have enough land to sustain such creatures that I may one day possess. Which animal do you think I should get? I'm not wanting just DOGS, that's why I didn't specify it. I'll take any large animal.
