There is no reason for outright animal cruelty. However, there are many views on this issue. These websites present a wide selection of those views. You are encouraged to study them and draw your own conclusions. Remember that what one person considers humane treatment may be what another considers animal cruelty.
FrogBook.com is a blog that discusses the latest news on the environment, wildlife, animal rights, and science in general; their political and social implications will be deconstructed and debated - hopefully with a degree of frog-humor. Post your comments!
Just a group of koala pictures for you to check out. Once there were millions of Koalas, but in the early 20th century the animal was hunted almost to extinction. There are now many conservation and research programs to help protect the Koala and its habitat.

Animals give me more pleasure through the viewfinder of a camera than they ever did in the crosshairs of a gunsight. And after I've finished "shooting," my unharmed victims are still around for others to enjoy. I have developed a deep respect for animals. I consider them fellow living creatures with certain rights that should not be violated any more than those of humans. ~Jimmy Stewart
