The Vegan's Voice

Mothers bond with their young because life depends on it. When we separate animals from those they love, we are not neutral observers. We are intervening in a relationship that exists for the same reasons ours do.

Quick sketch of a White-breasted Nuthatch for Yardwatcher on reddit/ko-fi.

Illustration of a White-breasted Nuthatch creeping downward along a lichen-covered branch. This small bird has a pointy little upturned bill, white face and breast that fades to chestnut on the flanks, a charcoal gray cap and blue-gray back. Dappled sunlight illuminates its back half.

At @casabentbill.bsky.social, we don't have to decorate our trees for the holidays. The toucans take care of that for us.

This Keel-billed Toucan has been watching the banana feeder for ten minutes this morning, making sure it's safe to have a snack. Once it deems it secure, its friends will follow

Colorful tropical bird perched on a slender tree branch, with a bright green bill marked with red, orange, and blue, a vivid yellow throat, black body, blue feet, and red undertail feathers, surrounded by dense green foliage.

I never offer these outside my crowdfund campaigns!

But... sadly 2026 immediately started with a big healthcare bill and I need to somehow keep things above water.

I got all informations on my Ko-Fi post where you can also buy a slot.

Farmed ducks are killed at just 8 weeks old. Ducklings like this barely get two months of life. Reject their exploitation - choose veganism 🦆
