veganoutreach.org/articles/normphelps.html
This 2008 essay by the late Norm Phelps opposes the position of activists who reject any welfarist-type reforms as counterproductive. He asserts rather that campaigns, e.g., to give caged chickens more space, not only lessen suffering, they awaken many unaware people to the issues; such persons often go on to embrace vegetarianism, sometimes veganism, and even meaningful activism.

To read about C.S. Lewis's theology of animals in an essay Andrew Linzey from the Anglican Theological Review, visit www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3818/is_199801/ai_n8802633

Tom Regan, philosopher, ethicist and animal rights activist, is convinced that those Christians who are concerned with the exploitation and mistreatment of animals are faced with a choice: to continue supporting the hypocrisy of religious institutions that defend the exploitation, or to actively participate in correcting these wrongs. To read the full essay visit http://www.religion-online.org/showarticle.asp?title=2326

In an essay series subsequently published in book form, Dr. Stephen Kaufman of the Christian Vegetarian Association applies the concepts of cultural anthropologist Rene Girard to Christianity and animals. Girard has argued that rivalries lead to scapegoating violence. A main theme of the Bible is that God cares about all creation and does not want victimization. See www.all-creatures.org/living/cphv.html

In a narrative essay that reads like a Tolstoy story, John Robbins tells what he learned about the depths of the human heart from his encounter with a hard and even frightening pig farmer.
