Pot belly pig sanctuary
Josie with Ellie, the one-eared pig.
I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about pot bellied pigs. I really don’t. I know people keep them as pets. I’m pretty sure most people don’t eat them. I know they’re not raised on factory farms. What I didn’t know is that they...
Animal research I can support
I recently read an article in the Translational Genomics Research Institute’s (TGen) newsletter that surprised and even shocked me. TGen is a non-profit organization dedicated to medical research. You would think that they use vivisection in their studies so I have been keeping my eyes open to...

Lets Kill Cows to Save Dogs and Cats
I don’t discriminate between animals. If it lives, breaths, feels pain, and has eyes to stare back at me, then in my opinion it deserves my respect. Sadly this is not so with many so-called animal lovers that like to put their animals into categories.
Let’s start with the most common …...

Vegan Dog Foster Hard at Work
I am quite embarrassed that it has been over a month since my last post! I have been busy with my dog rescue work. Our latest foster dog, Sundae, consumed all of my time and attention outside of running our Web development business. She recently moved on to another foster so now I actually have time...

Earthlings: A Must Watch
Earthlings movie
If you haven’t already watched Earthlings, a documentary narrated by Joaquin Phoenix, run … don’t walk to rent it. I’ve just watched it and will write a commentary once I can digest it all. In the meantime, you can take this man’s word for it.

To Love or Hate Ingrid Newkirk
Ingrid Newkirk: animal rights activist, author, and the president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).
I was very excited a few days ago when I noticed a documentary on HBO about Ingrid Newkirk. She is someone that grabbed my attention a few years back. Yet the more I came to know of...

Pit Bulls and Beef Bulls
It’s no secret that I love the pit bulls. Not too many years ago I was like most people, I didn’t know much about them other than what the media had to say. Well then I took in a stray pit bull and I was hooked after that. What a sweet, loving and loyal breed! And there are just so darn many...

Are Farm Animals the Same as House Animals?
Today I had the great fortune of attending the Farm Sanctuary walk for animals. It was so fun …. but I have to say I was very disappointed by the turn out. Where are all the animal-loving vegans out there? Apparently there aren’t many. Now when we have an event for the dog and cat rescue,...
