Bear death for nothing

So now they are killing bears just for following people? And at a distance, with no show of malice? Fucking idiots! Even the woman who was supposedly being followed didn't want the bear to be killed.

Great Responses to Anti Gay Marriage Video

I posted before about that horrible anti gay marriage video that was made. Well, there have been a few new videos done to mock it and they are fabulous.

My favorite is from Stephen Colbert:


Here is one from Funny or Die:

A Gaythering Storm from Jane Lynch

Crabs Feel Pain- No Shit!

Finally, proof that crabs feel pain. CNN reports on a study that shows crabs feel and remember pain.

What is wrong with these people?

Ok, so I know this isn't a vegan post, but part of veganism is compassion toward others, so there.


I just don't understand why anyone feels the need to go out their way to hurt others, and I feel that is was is being done by these people who are saying same sex marriage is hurting them. How the hell is letting two people who love each other hurting them? If they don't believe in same sex marriage, then don't marry someone of the same sex. But it hurts NO ONE! I don't believe in eating meat, so I am vocal about that because animals are hurt. If I didn't believe in same sex marriage, I would just keep my mouth shut cuz it doesn't hurt anyone.

And for the record, I am all for two adults that love each other being allowed the right to be married to each other if they so wish, regardless of their sex.

Burger King Sells Sex with their Fries?

It's not bad enough they are trying to sell our kids rotting animal flesh filled with antibiotics and various other poisons, now they are sexing it up? Is this really appropriate for advertising a kid meal? I hate Burger King!

Let's Piss Off the Hunters and "Sportsmen"

I am not a fan of country music, but I voted for Carrie Underwood for the CMA's just to piss off the hunters and so called sportsmen out there!
Join me. Hurry, the awards are Sunday I believe.

Some pro-hunting group got pissed when Carrie Underwood decided to donate money to the HSUS. They called HSUS “a radical organization that seeks to end hunting and other responsible uses of animals in America.”
and said "Carrie Underwood has decided to use her talents to benefit an organization dedicated to destroying the rights of thousands of her fans,” the U.S Sportsmen’s Alliance is now asking people to go online and vote for anyone other than her in the Academy of Country Music’s (ACM) Entertainer of the Year category.

So please, vote for Carrie Underwood as Academy of Country Music’s (ACM)Entertainer of the Year and prove that it is better to be cruelty free!

Victory for Chickens!

Thanks to the wonderful folks over at Compassion Over Killing, who joind forces with Mercy For Animals and the Animal Protection & Rescue League, Boca has decided to eliminate eggs from all their products by the end of the year!

This is fabulous news for chickens! This will not make all their products vegan, but it is a huge step.

A representative from Boca emailed COK with the following excerpt:
“…I am pleased to let you know the BOCA brand will be eliminating eggs in all of its products by the end of this year. We anticipate all BOCA products will be egg free in 2010.”

This campain was only a few weeks long! That must be a record. It goes to show you that consumer wants can make a difference. Boca responded because customers contacted them along with COK, Mercy for Animals and Animal Protection & Rescue League.

If you want to email Boca and thank them for listening, you can email them here.

Vegan Cookbook from 1910

This is just pretty cool. It is a book originally released in 1910. It is called No Animal Food by Rupert H. Wheldon. This is from the preface:

The title of this book is not ambiguous, but as it relates to a subject rarely thought about by the generality of people, it may save some misapprehension if at once it is plainly stated that the following pages are in vindication of a dietary consisting wholly of products of the vegetable kingdom, and which therefore excludes not only flesh, fish, and fowl, but milk and eggs and products manufactured therefrom.
THE AUTHOR.

You can download it for free from gutenberg and others, I ended up downloading it from mybebooks instead, because they had it in a pdf format with a clickable table of contents.

Ellen and Portia go Vegan!

Ellen and Portia have gone vegan. I know they had a vegan wedding, but I did not know they had gone completely vegan. Evidently, they made the switch sometime last year. What wonderful news!

Larabar Recall

Just to let you all know, Larabar did have to recall the Peanut Butter Cookie flavor
and JamFrakas Peanut Butter Blisscrisp flavor snack bars. I don't think anyone has had an issue with this bar, but the peanut butter used comes from the factory that has the peanut butter recall. So, if you have these, do return them and stick with the other flavors for now.
Happy snacking.
