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.
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.
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.

We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate for having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein do we err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with the extension of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear.
