Just finished this profound book by Austin Frerick about the “Barons” who control much of our food system. Wondering how workers, the environment, animals, and family farmers have been exploited by big food corporations? It’s in here, with a hopeful clarion call for change.
Please Ron DeSantis: Do NOT sign the Kristi Noem Bill (SB 1084) which, buried within it, will allow people to shoot dogs. Unlike Kristi Noem, you're a #dog lover not a dog killer. 🙏🏼
Friends: Please RT far & wide to help be a voice for #dog s and all #animals ! Casey DeSantis
Check out this new book from Maisie Ganzler! I was honored to be interviewed for it and, MUCH more importantly, Maisie is one of the true trailblazers and heroes in creating a more humane food system. amzn.to/3RTobjx
Thank you Khalil Herbert for caring about animals and for speaking out on their behalf. I think so many of us have had dogs in our lives who've inspired us to help make the world a more humane place for all animals.
.Peter Singer's first edition of Animal Liberation inspired me to look at animals--and advocate for them--in a way that changed my life. (I still remember reading it on the way to my college baseball game.) I just purchased his updated version of the classic. I highly recommend.
I think the best overview of the historic SCOTUS decision *affirming* California's Prop 12, the strongest law in the world for farm animals. The law bans the production and sale of eggs, pork, and veal from animals confined in cages. (Mark Joseph Stern) slate.com/news-and-polit…
A beautiful and powerful piece on animals in National Review: 'For every exploitative industry profiting from meat, skin, fur, blood sport, experimentation, and all the rest...They can take all the happiness out of life. They can’t take the miracle out of it.' nationalreview.com/magazine/2022/…
Well said Michael Grunwald '..the fate of the world’s bugs, bunnies and other creatures and critters and what’s left of the forests, wetlands and other habitats they call home depends more than anything else on what we put in our mouths and how it gets made.' nytimes.com/2022/12/15/opi…
