An answer to Temple Grandin by Jim Sinclair (also autistic)
If you love something, you don’t kill it.
I didn’t need to spend time in a squeeze box to learn that. Love is not killing. If you know what another being feels--not just how you feel when you touch it--then you know that living things want to remain alive. It doesn’t matter if they’re not afraid of death before they know what’s going to happen to them. In the moment when the killing happens, they know, and they want to stay alive. I have…

Will Tuttle: VegInspiration. Our Old Herding Culture
We may become irate that someone would even suggest that our mother’s loving meals and our father’s barbecues were a form of indoctrination. Our mother and father didn’t intend to indoctrinate us, just as their
parents didn’t intend to indoctrinate them. Nevertheless, our old
herding culture, primarily through the family and secondarily through
religious, educational,…

Effective Advocacy: Stealing from the Corporate Playbook by Bruce Friedrich, director of Vegan Campaigns
by Bruce Friedrich, director of Vegan Campaigns
I've been involved in social justice advocacy for more than 20 years. I spent six of those years running a homeless shelter and soup kitchen in Washington, D.C., before coming to work for PETA. If you are reading this, then you, too, must be concerned about making the world a better place.
Over the years, I've found that those of us who are concerned… Continue

Will Tuttle: VegInspiration. Field of Freedom
By recognizing and understanding the violence inherent in our culture’s meal rituals and consciously adopting a plant-based diet, becoming a voice for those who have no voice, we can attain greater compassion and
happiness and live more fully the truth of our interconnectedness with
all life. In this we fulfill the universal teachings…

Humane Meat - A Contradiction in Terms - Bruce Friedrich
Humane Meat: A Contradiction in Terms
People have become increasingly aware that virtually all of the 10 billionland animals slaughtered in the U.S. each year for their meat, eggs and
milk are terribly mistreated. In fact, routine farming practices are so
abusive that they would warrant…

Is Every Campaign a Single-Issue Campaign?
Posted by Gary L. Francione in Blog
Dear Colleagues:
In response to my comments (1,2) about the Johnny Weir matter and to my general comment on single-issue campaigns, some have suggested that if the Johnny Weir matter is a single-issue campaign, then all campaigns, including efforts to promote adoption/rescue, sanctuaries, and even veganism are single issue-campaigns.
This suggestion reveals a profound lack of… Continue

"Wildlife Conservation" Laws by Joan Dunayer (extract from SPECIESISM)
The MMPA is designed to protect "species and population stocks," not individuals. It expresses "concern for the health and safety of dolphin populations," not dolphin individuals. Like fishers, hunters, and trappers, the MMPA refers to nonhuman individuals as if… Continue

What exactly happened to Warwak and his teaching job?
What exactly happened to Warwak and his teaching job?
For those unfamiliar with my case, this is as much of a condensed version as I can make of my struggle not to be complicit in the lie:
I was an art teacher at Fox River Grove Middle School in Illinois for eight years until I started incorporating veganism in my lessons. My principal, Tim Mahaffy told me to stop doing work with animals in my art lessons. I said I… Continue

The Starfish Story (thanks Laura)
by Loren Eiseley
1907 - 1977
Once upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.
One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he walked faster to catch up.
As he… Continue

The Answers Should Be Clear - Gary. L. Francione
In Ingrid Newkirk’s attempt to deal with Victor Schonfeld’s powerful essay, Five Fatal Flaws of Animal Activism, Newkirk tried to defend welfare reform in the folowing way:
For those who decry gradualism, the practical philosopher Peter Singer would ask, “Would you prefer to live in the horror you’re in, bred to grow seven times more quickly than natural so that your bones splinter and your organs collapse, or would you prefer to be able to live without… Continue

VegInspiration. Transform & Awaken - Dr. Will Tuttle
Every one of us, as representatives of our culture, is an essential part of the fundamental transformation and awakening. It is exciting to contemplate educational, economic, governmental, religious, medical, and other institutions based on honoring and protecting the rights and interests of both animals and humans. When as a culture we stop commodifying creatures, a new world of kindness, fairness, cooperation, peace, and freedom will naturally… Continue

An interesting blog post by Dave Warwak ...
Opening cages is way cool. Life matters to that animal for sure no matter what the law says. I have rescued animals here and there so I can write of such things.
Burning down buildings is not cool. Vandalism is a waste of valuable time that could be spent actually helping animals. Corpse-munching industries will only rebuild bigger, newer, faster killing machines with the insurance… Continue

Veganism in a Nutshell' By Bruce Friedrich
"Let's face it: animals suffer and they die, just like we do. They are made of the same stuff that we are. Eating them is an act of gluttony and disregard for our own health, it is an act of disregard for the environment and for the global poor, and most of all, it is an act of disregard for our fellow animals."
-- Bruce Friedrich
With "Veganism in a Nutshell," a 67-minute recording, available on CD or cassette, by Bruce… Continue
