POST-SUMMERFEST: 'MYTH' CONCEPTION

I'm back from Summerfest, and one of the most interesting developments was this site: HumaneMyth.org, developed by James LaVeck and Jenny Stein, of The Witness and Peaceable Kingdom fame. Last year you may recall they were bitching about the animal industry's seemingly successful bid to split the animal movement along welfarist/abolitionist lines, and this year they've moved forward and done something about it. The site has a good overview of the fallacy of "humane" anything involving animal imprisonment, as well as some compelling teaching tools, like this anti-dairy slide show.
