“Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.” Arundhati Roy

On #WorldVeganDay, may we envision a future rooted in love, peace, justice, caring and respect–hallmarks of the #vegan ethic. May we build a world of happiness and healing for all life.

For 91 years, visionary #JaneGoodall walked among us, sharing the truth of our sacred kinship with all life–animals, humans & the Earth. With courage, compassion, love for all beings, & a commitment to a world of peace, harmony and justice, she implored us to do our part. In her honor, live #vegan.

A future world of love, peace, kindness, oneness, justice, and living in harmony with all life, is mirrored in #sanctuary life. At Out to Pasture Sanctuary, Lenny is valued for his very being, as our kin, a fellow traveler on our shared journey through life.

It's not just caring human mothers who love their babies. In all the ways that matter, mothers of all species love their babies just the same. With gratitude to Lighthouse Farm Sanctuary and @wildwoodsanctuary.bsky.social for saving these mothers and babies. #vegan4life #mothersday #bekindtoanimals

It’s #InternationalRespectforChickensDay, a day created by United Poultry Concerns to celebrate chickens on the planet instead of the plate. May all chickens be as happy as this rescued hen at @wildwoodsanctuary.bsky.social.

Rescued, former lab pigs Max and Rocco are living their best life at Lighthouse Farm Sanctuary. Gentle and docile, tens of thousands of Göttingen pigs face cruel, unnecessary lab tests when nonanimal, more effective, valid, humane alternatives are readily available. #WorldDayforAnimalsinLaboratories

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

To celebrate new life, there's no need to consume a lamb's life-someone innocent and defenseless, who would run, jump and play if given the chance. With no nutritional need for their flesh, kindly leave lambs to live in peace. Saved by @wildwoodsanctuary.bsky.social, Erma's life is love and joy.

Is it time to close the Oregon National Primate Research Center?

In a compelling op-ed for The Oregonian, @drnealbarnard.pcrm.org calls for an end to outdated and inhumane animal experiments—and a reinvestment in modern, human-relevant science and patient care.

Along with a statement of justice, being vegan is a practice of humility and respect. It’s an antidote to entitlement and the delusion of superiority.

Oliver is 8, a milestone for a male calf. Rescued from a dairy farm, his mom gave birth to him in a sanctuary. Millions of male calves are killed before their first birthday–treated as useless byproducts of getting their moms to lactate milk that is consumed by humans.

Today is #NationalPigDay – a day to share a compassionate wish for all pigs to be happy and free from suffering.
All beings tremble before violence.
All fear death. All love life.
See yourself in others.
Then whom can you hurt?
What harm can you do?

This is what House Republicans voted for tonight.

Another reminder that we have socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.

If you knew Apollo or Bruno–or any pig–wouldn't cannibalizing them be grotesquely inhumane? As self-aware individuals, their bodies, thoughts, feelings belong to them. Be kind, respectful to animals, leaving them off our plates, and keeping them in our hearts. 🩷🐷🙏🌱

At a time when “might makes right” dominates and destroys so much that is good, kind, compassionate, generous, and just, may we come together as a community that protects the vulnerable and defends who and what we love.
