About Me

Hi Everyone - I'm the unofficial leader of Action for Animals. That happens when you're the oldest member of this group. So, yes, I've been around since the beginning of AFA back in the 90's.

This Didn't Have to Happen: Bear Mauls Caretaker

MSNBC reports that a 24-year-old man in Columbus, Ohio, was mauled after he let out a bear for feeding at an exotic animal collector's home. So many things went wrong here. OHIO allows people to "collect" wild and dangerous animals like bears. OHIO allows contact between wild animals at exhibits and humans. Indeed, the collector of this bear allowed people to wrestle his bears until animal rights groups complained and had his exhibitors license revoked....

Ask Austin Mayor and Council Members to Stop Abuse in Circuses

As part of our current campaign against Ringling Bros Circus, we are asking you to call Austin's mayor and city council members today to ask them to help stop animal abuse in circuses. This important step will only take 30-60 seconds to complete. Below is a sample dialogue you can use when making your calls followed by each city council member's name, phone number and email address. Emails are acceptable. You will be speaking to a council aide...

It really was a lot of fun! Sorry for not sticking around longer, but I'm glad you were able to reach as many people as you did with the circus flyers!

hey! i'm a member now :)

Tough choosing for the sexiest V at Pride Fest! Lotsa cuties - next time can there be a category for the men and one for women so we can choose one person for each gender? Double the sexy vegan pride ; )

What an excellent article! Thanks for pointing it out! Very exciting indeed!

Then we saw you there, We were on the patio eating lunch,  I was the lady with the two little boys, a redhead and a blonde big baby.  I will say "hi" next time. :)

Yes, I was at Wheatsville on Saturday!!! Hey, nice to meet you. To borrow a cliche, Austin's a small town. :)

Good tip on pointing out that some of the largest land creatures on the planet are vegetarians (such as elephants).

Hope to run into you again.

Were you at Wheatsville Saturday?

P.S.  I participate in 1/2 marathons.  I did my first marathon in 2008 when I was pregnant with our second son, as well as my first 1/2.  This year I did two 1/2 marathons.  I love to show that vegans are healthy and do not need meat to be strong.  My example are the great creatures in the wild that live off of veggies only, the elephants, gorillas, pandas, etc.  They are the strongest.  We look forward to meeting you too.

Thanks Ernest.  I love showing people that vegan kids are healthy and happy.  My boys request fruit when we go to the grocery store, not the crap candy at the register.  Veggie kids are the best.

I'm not sure if I'm doing this right so if I may, let me pass this to you. Maybe it will help more.
