I ran across an article titled "Not Your Regular "-ism"" that tied in very well with my previous post. In part it reads:
......Veganism calls for dissemination of the truth and an end to ignorance. Animal agricultural industries pay a lot of money to hide the gory goings-on inside the walls of slaughterhouses and factory farms. But how can consumers be expected to make conscientious choices if they aren’t educated? This is where the efforts of animal advocates come in – they inform people about animal agriculture and the exploitative practices involved in the production of meat, eggs and dairy. (Granted, some people may prefer to remain ignorant about these things – but when one person’s ignorance results in the torture and death of another being, denial is no longer an option.)The writing comes from the University of Wisconson - Milwaukee student weekly. An interesting read.
Halloween is coming up, why not make your treats animal-friendly? While being gruesome is all in the Halloween tradition, don't make the occasion horrid for the other animal people.
Continuing on a Halloween theme, if you live in the Norman area, drop on by Main Street Photo-Video if you are looking for some totally unique Halloween cards. The owners are bunny people and animal rescuers as well as pleasant and creative human animals. The Dracula bunny card they created is a hoot.
