Animals Matter

Celebrating World Vegan Day, returning to YouTube, and explaining how this newsletter got its name

Animal Matters
This year I’m celebrating #WorldVeganDay all month long since I had to spend the actual day undergoing hip preservation surgery. Now properly medicated and somewhat coherent on the couch, I wanted to share β€œAnimals Matter,” this month’s installment of #AnimalMatters. A πŸ§΅β€¦

A new employee began working at an animal shelter, and suddenly 50 kittens wound up beaten to death in a trashcan. Yes, this individual should face consequences for this horrendous act, and I hope he gets some serious psychiatric help.

Because we don't see animals as equal to people, we don't draw the well-researched line between this kind of violence toward other animals and violence towards humans.

On a related note, the first article also mentions that two people involved in this horse kill-pen ring were convicted of animal cruelty FOR SLICING OPEN A DOG'S NECK ON SNAPCHAT.

Those men got a fine, no jail time, and were banned from owning an animal for ONE YEAR.

All of this, despite the research that shows #AnimalAbuse is highly correlated with other forms of violence and is often the stepping stone to hurting people.

In excessive heat, evaporation is slowed and the human body must work extra hard to maintain a normal temperature.

Swim, sweet Otter 841, swim! You were raised in captivity and now enjoy the surf along Santa Cruz.

But people do not understand how to respect your natural habitat, your rightful place in the world, and so we've tried (thus far in vain) to capture you without hurting you.

I hope we care enough to keep you safe. Or at least not kill you for nibbling on a surfboard when we're in your territory.
