Help make the US more animal friendly!

There are only a few days left! Please head over to www.change.org to vote for these two very dear issues to get into the top ten that will be brought to President-elect Barack Obama’s attention:

Vegan options for public school lunches- needs more than 2,000 votes to get into the top 10!

And ending animal torture, which needs more than 4,000 votes to move up.

Seriously though, marijuana is in there twice, and I’d much prefer to see and end to animal abuse and healthy food for the nation’s children before I see marijuana legalized. I’ think that these are certainly more urgent and important issues for our country at the moment.

Lastly, tell your friends! These issues need thousands of votes in the next couple of days! We CAN do it!

EDIT: I have discovered one more pertaining issue: puppy mills. Please vote here to get congress to end them and the cruelty that go with them. This needs more than 5,000 votes to get to the top, so tell your friends!

Steven the Vegan

As vegans, it’s really important that we are able to laugh at ourselves from time to time. With our heightened awareness, it’s really easy to get caught up in all of the suffering, both of animals and humans, that’s going on in the world. Also, we may at times seem bitter at times when we are bombarded with silly questions. (Do you eat fish? Bacon? What would you do if you were trapped on a deserted island?)

This gives me the perfect segway to this video:

Meet Steven the vegan. :)

What’s the silliest question you’ve been asked?
