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.
On Saturday, March 30, 2019 I organised my own small local animal rights forum. This is its story :)
I'd never written a game, so thought I would try something as simple as possible just to start to understand how it is done. It just so happened that the Running of the Bulls was on in Spain the following week, so there you have the theme. If you don't know what the running of the bulls is, it's a stupid event where crowds of people, including lots of drunk tourists, harass bulls and then kill them once the event is over.

I've developed a fun game called Vegan Bingo, you can play it on the web or download it as an Android application. Have fun!

Not the suffering and death of the animals, but that man suppresses in himself unnecessarily, the highest spiritual capacity - that of sympathy and pity towards living creatures - and by violating his own feelings, becomes cruel.

The Surprising Science on What Motivates Vegetarians, from the Breakfast Table to the Bedroom
If there were one book I would want people to read on how to make a vegan world it would be this one. Cooney takes an approach I think we could do with a lot more of in our movement. Using science and data he looks at what these tell us about the most effective strategies for opening people up to a more compassionate diet and way of thinking.
