Personal views on science, medicine and technology.
The Beastly Truth. The animal rights movement says eating meat is murder, pets are slaves and lab animals are prisoners. But science writer and part-time farmer
Stephen Budiansky challenges this view. Using new archaeological evidence and animal behaviour studies, he argues that domestication was not an act of human exploitation. It was a natural process - a brilliantly successful evolutionary strategy which has allowed humans and the animals which get along with them to flourish. Budiansky says: "Obviously we need to think about the way we use animals and use them humanely, but the idea that we should not use them at all is, I believe, based on ignorance."
