With a little help from my friends.........................

Some videos of friendship, same species and cross species.  First watch one tortoise helping out another.



Next a crow and a cat that pal around together:


Finally a deer and a rabbit that have formed a friendship:


The friendship formed between the elephant Tara and the dog Bella has been well publicized, they live at the Elephant Sanctuary and you can read more about them there.

For the human animals that continue to cling to the erroneous notion that they are somehow "superior" to other animals.............sad.

Human animals are unique, as are rabbit animals and elephant animals and cow animals and deer animals and cat animals and tortoise animals.  Each individual member of every species is worthy of respect, each life is important.

Living as a vegan embodies recognizing the significance of each life and respecting them.  If you aren't living that way now.....get started.

(Besides, living vegan is probably better for your health, definitely better for the health of the planet and most assuredly better for the health of the animals you used to call "food")

The crow person knocks me out.

Some video and some fun video links......

In the last post I wrote that unwanted (about 75% of them) dairy cow babies are sometimes smashed in the head with a hammer.  This video, called Saving Billy, is about one of these baby dairy cows that was a lucky little boy and ended up at Farm Sanctuary.  He was saved thanks to a human animal that stood up for him.  There are no gross or violent scenes so watch and enjoy:



Jeanne, over at Heartland Rabbit Rescue sent a link to this wonderful video showing a terrific dog person having fun with a young deer person.

Next, you can watch a quick fox person jumping over a lazy dog person.

Now watch a catfish person that appears to enjoy being petted.

This video shows a feathered person making a tool and using it effectively.

And, finally, look at this porcupine person playing and showing off some twirl moves.

Each animal person wants to (among other things) enjoy play, enjoy life, enjoy caresses, solve problems and have friends and family.  If we allow them to.

I write here about Veganism because Veganism is a way of living that seeks to exclude, as far as possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing and any other purpose.  Such a way of living entails allowing each animal person to enjoy her or his life just as human animal persons want to enjoy theirs.

What can I say.....I can think of no better way of living.

Time for some fun and then a bath.......

Take a look at these youngsters enjoying each other (thanks to We Are All Animals blog):



Now watch a youngster playing with that eternal source of joy....a puddle:



Finally, time to get cleaned up (at Arnold's Wildlife Rehab Center):



Fun is the birthright of all living beings (and getting clean).......
