I am a vegetarian (although I started eating fish again after 10+ years recently, but that's a different story).

I also have degrees in Ecology and Taxonomy (soon to be finishing another in environmental science).

In short, I am about as much of a tree hugging hippy as you can get without being an animal rights activist nutter.

I also have zero problem with anything written in that article.... I don't think stating facts is of any relevance to how compassionate a person is or isn't. The statement about something kicking in and killing the offspring of those frogs is simply a scientist talking about a genetic effect. Has nothing to do with compassion. It's not lack of compassion when a scientist says that the earth goes around the sun. Why should genetics be different?
