It is enormously tragic, that the defenseless, the harmless and the gentle sentient beings from whom we might have learned so much, who would have trusted us, and by whose acquaintance our lives could be so much enriched, are rewarded with imprisonment, torture and slaughter.

Another big challenge for me personally has been trying to find healthy snacks for hikes, traveling, and times when I can’t be home to prepare a fresh meal. As I write this,…
