	The Believers / What does it mean to eschew all animal products? Three animal rights ideologues on their moment of conversion
		Those are the animal rights extremists FBI domestic terrorist expert Phil Celestini calls part of the "No. 1 domestic terrorist threat in the country."

	The Emotional Lives of Animals article by Professor Jeffrey Moussaieffe Masson
		These farm animals, I soon discovered, had every bit as much feeling as their wild counterparts, if not more (since they were in constant contact with another species, humans, even if that contact was from both points of view highly unsatisfactory).
		Since we share so much of our genetic heritage with other animals, it is high time we realised how much we share emotional capacities as well, and once that is realised perhaps we can begin to share the earth, which has been given to all animals, human and otherwise, in common.
		We have a unique opportunity, and that is to learn to live with other animals in a kind of harmony that has never been possible in the past, but could well be the one and only way we can continue to live on this planet.

	Lab Notes
		These early animals are also invisible to us, too small and soft to form good fossils, but during the Vendian period, from 700 million to 550 million years ago, some of them managed to develop the crucial gimmick of segmentation.
		And when that deadly cap finally came off, as volcanic CO emissions heated the atmosphere again and melted away the ice, those plants and animals which survived had 50 to 70 million years of peace in which to quietly reconquer the oceans.
		Eventually, around 1 billion years ago, organized colonies of these creatures gave way to the first multicellular animals: probably microscopic sponges with an outer skin, a tissue layer, an inner digestive canal and (importantly) the capacity to evolve new tissue types, such as muscle.

		Fossilized trees and animals are often found in tact and spanning supposedly millions of years of geologic layers.
		Of all the animals, chimps are most like humans, so we would expect that their DNA would be most like human DNA.

	The Animal Episode
		More than 20 years after ANIMAL was born and briefly thrived, it's hard to imagine that the first computer virus was viewed, in those days, not as a security threat but entirely with amusement.
		So it was, five years after the ANIMAL story had first been fully explained in the press, that a further evolved version appeared in the 1990 book
		ANIMAL would indeed copy itself into every directory on a system, but it was small, and when updating itself overwrote the old copy, so it would not clog the disc with multiple copies.

	Fossa: World's Strangest Predator? -- International Wildlife Magazine -- National Wildlife Federation
		The explanation for the strange appearance of fossas and other Madagascar animals goes back some 160 million years ago in geologic time.
		Young fossas are dependent on their mothers for well over a year and do not breed until they are about three years old, by which time bobcats have already had a litter or two.
		The fossa, which looks like a cross between a dog and a cat, with a few other animals thrown in for good measure, is one of the world´s oddest meat eaters.

	The Forest Biome
		However, forests are becoming major casualties of civilization as human populations have increased over the past several thousand years, bringing deforestation, pollution, and industrial usage problems to this important biome.
		The landscape changed again during the Pleistocene Ice Ages—the surface of the planet that had been dominated by tropical forests for millions of years changed, and temperate forests spread in the Northern Hemisphere.
		Present-day forest biomes, biological communities that are dominated by trees and other woody vegetation (Spurr and Barnes), can be classified according to numerous characteristics, with seasonality being the most widely used.

	Animal Awareness Types of Animal Abuse
		Animals endure extreme amounts of suffering on a daily basis for all the years of their life on a factory farm.
		If a living sentient being (human or non-human animal) is forced into slavery, food production, entertainment, medical research, product testing, fighting, racing, or if that being is used for indulgent items such as fur, or being killed in the name of predator control or wildlife control, chances are that living sentient being is abused.
		Secondly, it is true that animals kill each other in the wild for survival and that is a natural part of life.

		The British scientist, Dr Julian "Lulu" Skidmore, who helped develop the cama for the Dubai camel reproduction centre said the cross-breeding is not as outlandish as, say, mating an elephant and a giraffe, as the camel and llama were part of the same species millions of years ago.
		The cama is now over two years old and has longer legs than a llama but no camel's hump.
		"In theory, you end up with an animal that is halfway in height between the two with a good winter coat," Dr Skidmore told the Los Angeles Times.

	Animal abuse - Encyclopedia Dramatica
		PETA, or "Pedophiles for the Ethical Treatment of Animals", is a cult created at least 100 years ago with goals of preventing animal abuse and legalizing child rape.
		While no sane person shares this belief, law enforcement agencies are known to prosecute animal abusers as a demonstration of the power they are capable of mustering in the service of enforcing the insane whims of their commanding officers.
		A breakaway organization exists, People for the Eating of Tasty Animals, formed by those ex-members of PETA who have been unable to resist the temptations of juicy meat and have reverted to their ealier carnivorous ways.
