What kind of spider is this? Since becoming vegan I am fascinated by spiders that are different and 90% less afraid of them. This is a spider on a sidewalk at a park in Bellingham, WA. Any idea of what kind it is?

Hours Each camp day will be from 8am until 2:30pm. On the final day, camp will end around 12pm, followed by a family group sanctuary tour. All camper families are invited!

For those who are unaware, the "bird flu" like most voracious flu-bugs around the world, was created at factory farms. Factory farms are breeding grounds for the worst viruses as they are created in animals that are already receiving antibiotics and are sick. This most recent flu has wiped out millions of birds - wildlife -- and millions of domestic birds have been killed due to having or being exposed to the flu bug. Now cattle. Luckily, they are not putting cattle down by the thousands or millions, but many are getting sick and the potential is very high for it jumping to humans and spreading. One more time folks, the US House FARM BILL helps support factory farming of animals. An alternative bill in the US Senate decreases this funding and moves a lot of support from factory farms to regenerative farming, organic farming and small farms. Smaller farms help decrease air and water pollution, Climate Change and increase health in animals and people. Call your Reps today!

In this podcast, Hope will explore the recent trajectory of the animal advocacy movement toward encouraging industries to transition to cage-free systems and other animal welfare campaigns. Cage-free eggs are now 40% of the US egg market and both the industry and animal advocates are promoting this as a major victory…but is this something to celebrate? Hope talks about social justice strategy, Effective Altruism, incremental change, and propose that our movement’s focus is out of balance. She cautions that we are relying too heavily on impractical strategies and fragile legislation that may not lead us to farmed animal freedom.

So many of us who are vegan are highly sensitive empaths.

Are you a sensitive person who wants to protect yourself from the pain of witnessing suffering but who also wants to help alleviate suffering? If so, you might find my latest Psychology Today article helpful. The article explains why you don’t have to choose between protecting yourself and protecting others. 📃

The Agriculture Improvement Act, or “Farm Bill,” is the most important legislation shaping United States food systems. Passed only twice per decade, the bill determines how we grow, distribute, and dispose of food in the United States, and is therefore responsible for the immense harm today's fo...

With Earth Day around the corner and many celebrations happening today and tomorrow in communities around Northern CA, why don't we buy less and give more! ---to the animals at sanctuaries who need (expensive) medical care or just the basics of food, nutrition pellets, bedding, etc. Or to the sanctuary's themselves who must pay all the other bills of caring for our beloved rescue animals! Or! to those Sanctuaries that have education programs that help people to stop consuming animals and understand why this choice helps farm animals, the environment, wildlife, workers and slows Climate Change :)

"Everything we purchase has a hidden price tag for the planet and wildlife.... We can’t buy our way of our environmental crises, but we can revive the spirit of Earth Day with meaningful action." Center for Biological Diversity that advocates for a vegan/plant based diet and world.
