It’s that time of the year when people of all ages enjoy reading about rabbits. “The Way of the Rabbit” has got you covered. Hop on over to markhawthorne.com/project/the-... for details.

The Year of the Horse symbolizes action and moving forward. Why not make this the year you move forward and get active for animals—whether it’s by leafleting, tabling, protesting, writing letters, volunteering, direct action, etc.? “Striking at the Roots” is here to help. ow.ly/Sldh30nLPrF

Give it a rest, dairy industry. There is no butter in peanut butter, no horses in horseradish, no egg in eggplant, and neither pine nor apple in pineapples. Likewise, consumers understand there is no cow's milk in plant-based milks. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Remembering the wisdom of Dr. King on his birthday.

Dairy products are filled with suffering and death. Please make the compassionate choice and enjoy one of the many delicious vegan alternatives now available.

Today and every day, you can reject the institutionalized cruelty of animal agriculture and choose compassion by going vegan. Not only will you be helping animals, but you’ll be doing something good for the planet and yourself.

Zoos and marine parks are miserable places for animals, who pass their lives in captivity and are denied many of their natural behaviors. Instead of taking the kids to the zoo, let them observe animals in their native habitats or in a reputable sanctuary or rehabilitation center.

Rabbits are not props.

This young man was in his own backyard digging a hole to bury his beloved guinea pig when a neighbor opened fire on him.

Today’s lesson: leave animals alone.

On this day in 1959, Marfusha became the first rabbit in space, sent on a Soviet mission with two dogs, Otvazhnaya and Snezhinka. Although all three returned from the suborbital flight safely, it’s important to remember that they never volunteered to be test subjects in this terrifying venture.

This story hit the news today, and even the revered New York Times got the headline wrong. These piglets are someone, not something—so they were rescued, not “stolen.” Kudos to the activists who liberated the animals who were being starved to death in the name of “art.”

We remember this month Chunee, the Asian elephant who only wanted freedom but was murdered in London on Wednesday, 1 March, 1826. Read for free at my Substack. kimstallwood.substack.com
