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.

Greece Votes to Ban Circuses with Animals

Animal Defenders International (ADI) has just announced that the Greek government has voted to ban all circuses with any animals. Greece is the first European country to ban all circuses with animals. They join Bolivia as the second nation with this type of legislation. Other European countries have bans on the use of exotic animals in circuses, however. ADI now believes that the United Kingdom may be next in line to ban the use of...

From HuffingtonPost.com: Ingrid Newkirk on Komen's Other Gaffe

The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure is in the news for deciding to not fund Planned Parenthood, then reversing that decision. Ingrid Newkirk, co-founder of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), wrote a great piece on HuffingtonPost.com on another reason to not support the Komen Race for the Cure: they fund animal testing. Here's here piece: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ingrid-newkirk/komen-animal-testing_b_1253803.html?ref=fb&src=sp&comm_ref=false#sb=1267869,b=facebook Here's part of what she wrote on how animal testing can be harmful: "...Taxol,...

Ernest, we're having a little get together of the I Pass for Straight folks. I can't find an email address for you. Let me know how to contact you. toby

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.
