Egypt’s Mass Slaughter of Pigs
Posted on May 19, 2009 by nothoney

Vegan Before 6
Posted on April 21, 2009 by nothoney
As a vegan, I really want the entire world to stop exploiting non-human animals for their flesh, skin, fur, experimentation and entertainment. I’m also realistic, at times, so I support animal welfare organizations such as HSUS. I know this makes the abolitionists grind their teeth and swear, but I don’t give a damn. Why shouldn’t [...]

Animal Cruelty In My Backyard
Posted on April 16, 2009 by nothoney
I don’t often write posts about things that happen to me, or that I’ve seen.

Farm Sanctuary: Sanctuary Tails Blog
Posted on February 25, 2009 by nothoney
A few days ago I read this AP story about how the recession has lowered the prices of dairy products to the point where farmers can no longer afford to feed their dairy cows. News flash, people! Dairy cows do not live in big pastures, happily chewing grass until it’s time for milking by the [...]

Guest Blogger: Creature Talk on Vegan Awakening
Posted on January 14, 2009 by nothoney
I love to read Creature Talk because Mindy articulates beautifully what I feel but somehow cannot express. Her post today is so outstanding that I asked permission to post it here so that five or six more people can read it.
