SCIENCE OF CATS

More than 600 million claim residence in households across six continents ... and now they may have dethroned dogs as the most popular pet on earth. An exterminator, fierce hunter and favorite companion, aloof and affectionate at the same time, the cat leapt out of the wood and adopted us on its own terms thousands of years ago.

Publicity Postcard for the Fight of the Century:  "That's what they called the epic fight in 1916 between Mr Jinxie, the American fighting cat, and the German dachsund, Ludwig von Breslau-Menken. In the cruel sport of animal fighting these two were the champions in the light weight category. Because of the the Great War and growing concerns by Humane Societies about these fights, it was held at a neutral site, Berne, Switzerland. Gamblers came in large numbers from the US and Germany. Animal Rights advocates showed up and began street protests outside the fight venue."

 The Importance of Constitutional Peasants
Anarcho-syndicalists regard the state as a profoundly anti-worker institution. They view the primary purpose of the state as being the defence of private property and therefore of economic, social and political privilege, even when such defence denies its citizens the ability to enjoy material independence and the social autonomy which springs from it
