Veganism and the doomed farmed animals of North Carolina

Veganism and the doomed farmed animals of North Carolina

The biggest obstacle to obtaining liberation for all species of animals exploited in our various death for profit industries is the deep seated belief that these sentient beings are commodities. This glaring reality came barreling into the Carolinas, when Hurricane Florence set its destructive eye on North Carolina.

North Carolina is among the top states in the nation (USA) in producing pork and poultry, with about 9 million “hogs” at any given time and 819 million chickens and …

The Importance of Veganism and Anti-Speciesism in Animal Rights Outreach

The Importance of Veganism and Anti-Speciesism  in Animal Rights Outreach

My, my, my, the City of Montreal and our illustrious and obstinate Mayor Denis Coderre  certainly have a knack for  making the front page of mainstream news. So much of the swirling controversy has been inglorious as well as unflattering to the unwavering mayor.

From and to the:

3.4 million dollar decidedly ugly granite stumps gracing Parc Mont Royal
proposed and now in force Breed Specific Legislation (BSL), pertaining to pit bull type dogs
ongoing and deeply contested  …

Are We Fiddling While the Planet Burns?

Are We Fiddling While the Planet Burns?

Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
There’ll never be a better chance to change your mind
And if you want this world to see a better day

We vegans all do our part. At the very least, we are setting …

Pro Fur Articles in Mainstream News and Arm Chair Advocacy

A little nudging from one’s friends can be good thing, especially when it comes to actively advocating for all nations of  animals who are  captured, bred and confined for our malevolent pleasure.  In the farmed animal industry  65 – 70 billion land animals and trillions of aquatic animals  are murdered annually.

Upon reading these gruesome figures, some might think that I made a couple of big typos, but sadly these figures are accurate. The figure for the aquatic animals …

Motherhood: A Universal Truth for all Nations of Animals

Motherhood: A Universal Truth for all Nations of Animals

Motherhood floats my boat. I can remember clearly and vividly and with much love the day my mother walked through the front of our home with her fifth and last child – “littlest sister”. I am the middle child of five and had just turned six and Santa had just come and gone. Much to my mother’s dismay, she had spent Christmas in the hospital waving down to us as we stood under her window on the frosty, crunchy, winter …
