By Mark D Pritchard Plant-based curious…. My first steps into a plant-based diet in April 2018 were not your typical ones. It was a dark time; darker than many could imagine. Having separated from my wife only two days after my mother died in December 2017, my world had been ripped apart. I was unable […]
In 2009 in Piedmont Italy, Fedy set up “La Piccola Fattoria degli Animali” (The Little Animal Farm) https://www.facebook.com/PigWhisperer/ This would be a place devoted to pigs saved from slaughterhouses and factory farms, but which would also give hospitality to dogs and cats that have been ill-treated or abandoned. We caught up with Fedy and asked […]
A statement I hear quite often is “The Save Movement doesn’t actually save animals”.

The Rise of Veganism Up until just a few years ago Veganism was believed to belong to a niche group of people who were viewed by non-vegans as tree-huggers, thin, weak-bodied hippies who lived on a diet of “rabbit food”.

It’s more of a fly-on-the-wall documentary, which explains and documents very informatively the benefits of […]

By Jennifer Lucy Hill Growing up in the late 1990’s/ early 2000’s I had never heard of veganism or even knew it was a “thing”…to be honest I had never particularly heard much about vegetarianism either! There was nowhere near as much mainstream talk, publicity, activism, adverts or information then as there has been over […]
When people find out I am vegan, I am often met with the same kind of responses. Many people like to explain to me how they don’t eat a lot of meat, or they only eat fish, or only eat chicken. Also, just for the record people who claim to be “vegetarian” and say that […]
