Across the US, families prepare to turn the dead bodies of over 45 million unique miracles of nature into the centerpieces of Thanksgiving “feasts” for diners in this affluent nation to gorge themselves on until sick with the pains of indulged gluttony. bit.ly/3OBqxl9

Love this rational response to the cuteness of fish, care of @unitymoonbeam

otters juggle rocks and we just don’t know why, nor do we know how this behaviour emerged The juggling frequency increases with age, and when it’s closer to feeds but doesn’t correlate to increased foraging skills twitter.com/ghraaib/status…

February 9, we honor Gentle World for their book, Cookbook for People Who Love Animals, a collection of vegan recipes compiled in 1981 that achieved mass distribution long before the world knew what the word ‘vegan’ meant. Learn more at americanvegan.org/vegan-cuisine-…

What is extreme is we encourage our children to love animals at the same time that we teach them those that they love can also be those whom they harm. We teach our children that love is consistent with commodification. That is truly extreme—and very sad. abolitionistapproach.com/no-ethical-veg…
