Mike Jaynes is an independent animal advocate who teaches English and Western Humanities at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. His research interests include Animal Advocacy Ethics, Biocentrism, Greek Mythology, Ufology, the cult of the individual, the embraced rogue, experimental fiction, American fiction, and Tom Robbins. Recently, he has been examining western humanities through the lens of the human treatment of nonhuman animals and the analogous plight of nondominant humans and nonhuman animals as well as examining the oft ineffective internecine rhetoric of the animal advocacy movement. His academic and creative writing has appeared in dozens of peer reviewed journals, nationally circulated magazines, newspapers, ejournals, and books including Animals' Voice Magazine, The Animal Rescue Site.com, All Creatures, The Vegetarian Site, Farmhouse Magazine, Paragon Magazine, UFO Magazine, and many others. He has been interviewed by university graduate programs, radio personalities, and national newspapers regarding Bio-Conservation and speaks on behalf of animal advocacy and the decline of human compassion. In his Animal Advocacy pieces, he focuses mainly on the plight of the elephant and the whale shark but also argues against "Sustainable Use," Animals used for Entertainment, Mass Confinement Factory Farming, Whaling, Sealing, Shark Finning, and Anthropocentrism.
