Hi Lori,

Do you mean the articles under related posts? If so, they were written by adults.

Hail to the Future

Those articles were written by kids? Wow! I am certain we under estimate the future and I for one say we need to embrace their ideas and talents "NOW"!

Loving this!!

I'm glad you shared the link to your blog. It seems like a good resource for vegans. What do you think of VegNews? I'm trying to decide whether or not to subscribe.

First of all, I love Steph

First of all, I love Steph at Change.org! She's fabulous!! Second..great list of AR organizations..and I totally get where cluelesscrafter is coming from. Even though I've been vegan for almost 4 years now, just watching someone else prep a chicken or steak makes my heart ache for the life that was lost and the torture it had to endure in order to finally find peace in death. It not only makes me sad for the animal in question, but the person as well..that they fail to feel the compassion towards the life that died for their taste buds.

I love youtube but I avoid to much internet on my telephone, at one point a few years ago, I was addicted to reading horoscopes, next thing you know in one month my bill was over two hundred dollars.

I said forget it, I pay a monthly set cost with rogers high speed, and as of tomorrow it will be a wireless modem, so...same cost..

But appreciate this list

Hi clueless crafter,

Wow. That is an intense story. I've heard many stories like that from people who become vegetarian. The worst was from a woman who as a girl had to eat the rabbit she had been playing with earlier at a family farm for dinner.

Hugging a Dead Chicken

cluelesscrafter — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 07:18:30 -0500

On the topic of animals and respect, I had to share this. On Friday night, we decided to relax at home and roast a whole chicken for dinner. I began the prep work without second thought, quickly unwrapping and washing it before its visit to the oven. When I went to pat it dry, a wave of emotion washed over me. I felt sad for its pain and even sadder by the way I was treating it. Its skin was incredibly soft and its wings felt like the arms of an infant. When I picked it up, it hung limp under its weight, completely plucked clean and heartlessly pricked with a built in thermometer.

I sobbed. Sobbed in respect and with profound sadness for its suffering. My eyes opened.

Has anyone else experienced this connection?

And I FaceBook for my own social use but I also use my FaceBook page for my progressive social change agenda. I read your article with future uses in mind. Thank you. It was really concise and helpful.
