Humans are just one of the myriad animal species in our world, yet we wield a power unlike any other. How do we wield this power and what are the consequences of it, both for animals and humans? To consider this question is fundamental to our individual and collective moral progress.
Looking for recipes or tips on how to veganise your cooking? Well this is the section for you.
Are those working for compassion towards animals reducing compassion for humans or strengthening it? Here I make the case that compassion ultimately knows no line of species, and that we should teach compassion for all beings.
Don't Panic Yet Podcast - with Simon Monsour
I was lucky enough to be interviewed on my friend Simon Monsour's Don't Panic Yet podcast. You can check out the audio and video here.
This is my tale of how I stopped eating the animals that in my heart I had always loved.
This was my unsuccessful entry to a project called "Letters to a New Vegan". I was hoping to capture something different to what I imagined others would write.
