To protest or not to protest?

I’ve been having a thoughful few days. Is life as a vegan enough? Is sharing things about veganism and animal cruelty on blogs and facebook enough. I’ve also been thinking about why I haven’t been more actively invloved and the answer is fear. I don’t want to get in trouble. Yet what would I actually be doing wrong? Standing up and saying that I believe it is wrong to murder or abuse...

Kill the Badgers!…Or do what you can to save them.

Yet again, the UK is going back to murdering Badgers. People fought tooth and nail to stop the Welsh cull and now this (full BBC article below). Please write to the governement, your MP or sign an online petition to say that this is no way to go forward, especially with no hard evidence to prove a link between badgers and Bovine TB. We should let the Badgers live their lives as naturally as they can. Maybe if...

Vegan Purses

As you may know I have just set up a small online shop selling ethical goods such as vegan purses and recycled and fair trade bags, jewellery and gifts. Some of the jewellery is hand made, other items commissioned or bought in from trusted acquaintances! I’ve just got a new line of vegan purses in and they are gorgeous. Have one myself! It’s so hard to find a good non leather purses. Usually as vegans...

Guest Article & Great Tofu Burger Recipe!

I was recently contacted by Martha Volz , who writes for the Vegetarian Supplements site, her personal passion blog devoted to vegetarian healthy eating ideas. She asked if she could write an article for Shout Vegan about new research from the United Nations (UN) that suggests a correlation between climate change and meat consumption. After reading the article, and the great recipe which I will be testing...

Don’t let them lift the whaling ban – act quickly.

Don’t allow those ignorant selfish bastards who make our decisions lift the ban on whaling. Do something NOW. There are only 2 days left to knock some sense into these people. Visit the below site and add your voice. Spread the word on twitter, facebook, on your blog, comment on the news sites, demonstrate. In other words, make a BIG DEAL of this. It is unacceptable, sickening and downright immoral. DO...

We’re playing double standards again!

Yesterday I read the below article from the Telegraph with interest. I would have posted it up straight away had I not been in bed with the flu. However, upon dragging myself up today I thought  the first thing I wanted to do was highlight the hypocrisy yet again in our society.  Please read this article (and take note if it makes you angry or upset) and I will continue… Up to a million Hindus gathered...

Food Inc

Last night we watched ‘Food Inc’, a documentary film about the food industry. I must say, as a vegan, I think I know a lot about food production, turns out not as much as I should! This film is a must for everyone, it is not a film which asks you to go vegan but rather explains how the big corporations really don’t care about farmers or about you and your families safety. As a vegan I often...

The youngest piglets fate.

I just had to share this.The smallest piglets of the litter are often held bt their legs and pounded against  concrete infront of their helpless mothers. At what point do you stop and think ‘Hang On, maybe that’s not acceptable behaviour?’ Don’t be a part of it. But you love a bacon buttie? Grow Up. The original is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cetfa/3771320870/ PAC’d piglet...

Need a vegan belt?

I was so pleasantly surprised when I went to my post box today. There was a parcel from my mother and in it were 2 vegan belts from Ethical Wares. When she was here last, she found one of her belts in my drawers and re-claimed it! She must have known I am always short of belts because now two weeks later, these belts arrived. They are so sweet! I looked at the site and Ethical Wares has lots of accessories for...
