Do Meat Eating Animals Smell Differently Than Plant Eating Animals?

I’ve often wondered if meat eating animals smell differently than plant eating animals. And if so, can meat eating animals tell if other animals are plant eaters or vegan? A 2006 study published by the U.S. National Library of Medicine and National Institute of Health examined the effect of meat consumption on body odor attractiveness in humans. Male participants were on “meat” and “non meat” diets for two weeks during…

One can resist the invasion of armies; one cannot resist the invasion of ideas – some powerful anti-vivisection quotes from a 1906 publication!

Vegans have been actively campaigning against vivisectors since ~ the 1870s. Today, here in Hong Kong, we had a table covered in anti-vivisection pamphlets. The earliest that we were referring to was one by Ernest Bell from 1889. As we were working, we realized that Google could not find many of our favorite quotes – also many misquotes are available through Search. So, in this post, we are transcribing approx.…

Cassy’s Favorite Vegan Dog Food Recipe

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about one of my best friends who had passed (my vegan dog, Buddy). Now I want to introduce you to my vegan dog (Cassy) and her favorite vegan dog food recipe. We adopted Cassy from a sanctuary in 2004. She was almost three years old. Cassy is a mix of white shepherd and (we think) bull terrier. When we adopted her, one of her…

My Vegan Dogs

I’ve had the pleasure of sharing my adult life with a total of eight fabulous dogs (so far). And seven of them have been vegan. When I first went vegan fifteen years ago, it was really hard for me to feed my best friends animal products. Then a friend gave me a copy of Vegetarian Cats and Dogs by James Peden. When I finished reading the book, I knew that…

Promoting Veganism YOUR Way

All vegans have unique and special skills that they can apply to their activism. Some vegans are dynamic with great verbal skills and make fantastic speakers. Others are better with a pen and are more adept at putting their thoughts on paper. Still others are great protesters, organizers, leaders or role models. The trick is finding where you are most effective and in what arena you do best. When I…

Cowspiracy – The Sustainability Secret (must see trailer)

If there was a modern day David & Goliath battle worth taking note of it would be the Cowspiracy movie. In this case David could use all the support he can get! There is one single movement destroying the planet more than any other… but no one wants to talk about it. The time has come to put the record straight. It’s time for the world to open it’s heart…

The Ghosts In Our Machine – Inspirational Documentary

Those of us who’ve ever seen images of the twisted and thwarted world of factory farming (or animals in captivity), have often wondered how an openhearted person finds the strength to go in and capture such heart wrenching footage. I’ve long since imagined what it must be like be that person who cares so profoundly, so deeply, to be willing to witness these acts, time and time again. These people…

“Light in Dark Places: Anti-Vivisection from the Victorian Era to Modern Day”

In this post I really wanted to ‘expand’ the famous 1913 photo – just having names underneath was not enough for me – these were incredible personalities & they have been almost forgotten – some don’t even have their own Wikipedia pages yet. Bob Ingersoll & his team / family members greatly influenced Henry S. Salt & Ernest Bell & ………..so many others. Lizzy Lind af-Hageby was quite remarkable. The…
