I write a column pro bono for the Capital Times progressive newspaper, called Madravenspeak ( at madison.com ). It is to be a voice for living wildlife and the people who respect them and to generate more respect among the people who kill them for fun and trophy and thrills.

Empathy for animals is important not only for its own sake, but also because it leads us to greater empathy for people with different experiences and modes of thought, such as autistic children and the disabled, or even those who have very different cultures or life paths. It teaches us that love, pain, meaning and awareness are not limited to those who think exactly the same way we do.
