Vegan?

A
vegan is someone who does not consume any animal products and avoids the exploitation of animals. Why? Animals used by the food, entertainment, clothing, and experimentation industries suffer from extreme abuse and neglect at the hands of people. Factory farmed animals receive horrific treatment, such as lifelong confinement, painful castration, and even boiling alive. Animals in labs die by the thousands from induced illnesses and injuries without veterinary care. Animals in circuses are even beaten to perform for humans. We can avoid this unnecessary torture with a plant-based diet and cruelty-free products. No matter how different we are from other species, we are co-citizens of the Earth, and we are animals too. They, like us, can
suffer. The only road to compassion is to recognize that they are not our property, our food, or our entertainment. VEGAN -- For the people, for the planet, for the animals.

mood: Excited
Meet WaWa! He is a 4 year old chihuahua who was scheduled to be euthanized at a shelter. When we found out about him, we adopted him right away. Life with 3 dogs at home is going to be quite hectic, but we're adjusting and everyone is beginning to get along. WaWa is such a sweetie and is so friendly and trusting. I wonder what kinds of things he experienced in life before he came to us, and how he can still be so loving after being abandoned.
Bear's health is doing better, Powder is learning to make friends with WaWa, and all is well, for now.

Yay for Chihuahuas. I found a white 3-pounder in a Florida shelter who changed my life. We spent 8 amazing years together and not one day passed where I didn't look at him in total awe of his warmth, personality, and miniature cuteness.
