<p>Thank you all so much for your friendly welcome to ARZone. I feel like one of the family already. Hee-hee.</p>

<p>Carolyn, we have about six different music/drama/story/dance shows that we do in primary schools, plus a couple that we do for pre-schools. We developed the shows over time, to incorporate our skills and topics that interested us, into an educational framework.

<p>Carolyn, we have about six different music/drama/story/dance shows that we do in primary schools, plus a couple that we do for pre-schools. We developed the shows over time, to incorporate our skills and topics that interested us, into an educational framework. It has worked well over the years, but we don't tour the whole country any more, but stay mostly around the Auckland area, or within two or three hours drive of Auckland anyway, these days. If you're interested, you could look here: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.billkath.co.nz/index.html">http://www.billkath.co.nz/index.html</a> and click on "School Shows" in the links.</p>

<p>Tim, yes I am ashamed to admit that I suffered a "disconnect" for a lot of those years, when I ate vegetarian (lacto-ovo) and continued to wear leather shoes, wool and silk clothing. Since becoming vegan, I have been going through my wardrobe and changing to vegan alternatives.</p>
<p></p>
<p>My husband got rid of all his leather belts and shoes years ago, though. More enlightened than me.</p>

<p>Hi Kath!<br></br><br></br>Welcome to ARZone. Like you, I was a vegetarian for a long time before becoming vegan. If you don't mind me asking, when you were vegetarian did you still buy things made of leather or other clothing/shoes/accessories made from other animals? The reason I ask is because I did and I am curious about how others acted on their vegetarian impulses. </p>
<p>I hope you find ARZone to be a place where you can feel at home, exploring all the complex issues surrounding how the human…</p>

<p>I hope you find ARZone to be a place where you can feel at home, exploring all the complex issues surrounding how the human animal interacts with nonhuman ones. </p>
<p></p> Hey Kath!
It sounds like you…tag:arzone.ning.com,2012-02-05:4715978:Comment:817652012-02-05T06:33:30.673ZCarolyn Baileyhttp://arzone.ning.com/profile/CarolynBailey
<p>Hey Kath! </p>
<p>It sounds like your life is very busy! What sort of educational shows do you do for schools? </p>
<p>Congratulations on making the decision to live vegan, both to you and Bill! </p>
<p>How exciting that you're reading Tom Regan's work. I think he's just wonderful. I have his Empty Cages here, which is a much easier read - it was written for a general audience, but it's still really educational and very interesting. I think he's been the stand out animal rights philosopher…</p>

<p>How exciting that you're reading Tom Regan's work. I think he's just wonderful. I have his Empty Cages here, which is a much easier read - it was written for a general audience, but it's still really educational and very interesting. I think he's been the stand out animal rights philosopher and author of our time, and admire him very much.</p>
<p>I'd be interested in what you think of "The Animal Rights Debate", I think Rob Garner made a really good case for his position in that book. He is very rational and I think he explains himself in a way that is pleasant and not at all condescending. Although I don't agree with his position, I find him to be a very genuine person, and have learnt quite a bit from him. </p>
<p>Feel free to add to any discussions in ARZone, or to start your own. The best way to start a discussion is in the "Forum" section - the tabs are at the top of the main page. But there are always topics to add to, as well as videos, blog posts, groups, recipes. Whatever is on the site is yours! :) </p>
<p>The chat box almost always has someone attending to it, but if you say hello and don't receive a response straight away, they're likely just busy elsewhere for a while. <br/><br/>So, welcome to ARZone, and please let us know if we can help in any way! :)</p>

<p>Oh - I forgot to mention that I just finished reading "Eating Animals" by Jonathan Safran Foer. It was a very interesting read, but I have mixed feelings about his position re animal rights.</p>
