Why is this work important?

Commitment to animal studies and environmental studies is justified for one simple reason: care for others.

Hundreds of billions of animals are industrially bred, confined, and killed each year for food, constituting the largest institution of torture the world has ever seen. Concurrently, environmental hardship affects billions of humans and countless ‘wild’ animals worldwide. From such concerns, there stems a complex network of personal responsibilities, to fight injustice and to help those in need.

Crucially, information can guide thoughts, feelings, and behavior, and it underlies the logical rationale and methodology of changemaking. Therefore, this site provides educational resources for many different audiences, with intent to inform a more ethical world.

About me:

My name by choice is Bullos [pronounced BUL-ohs], a choice which follows from a long-standing and widespread tradition: from environmental and civil-rights activists, to objectors of gender constructs, to undertakers of a religious vocation— adopting a new name demonstrates one’s personal agency and commitment to a cause, expressing such complex identities. I also maintain my name by birth, Brendan [pronounced BREN-din], being an anglicization of the Gaelic name Breandán.

Time and place are also relevant details of one’s personal identity. I am a young-adult from the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, and I have a Bachelor’s of Science in environmental science. Accordingly, I have been trained on local species and ecologies, specializing in mammalian ecology in Chicago’s urban environment. My main research interest is the application of population ecology to improve human—animal relationships. I also have studied both applied ethics and normative ethics (the studies of what to do and why to do it), and I am currently educating myself on animal geography (the broad study of time and place, of past and ongoing histories).
