Ever look longingly at all the beautiful vegan shoes out there that you can’t afford? I know I do. My non profit salary doesn’t allow me to spend hundreds of dollars on a single item. But now…we can all share in the vegan style revolution with Cri de Coeur’s new line Hearts of Darkness. All [...]
I live about 20 minutes from Long Island and yet I never go. The bridges and the traffic are a pretty big turn off. But now, I have a whole new incentive to venture over there. Three Brothers Pizzeria. They are a regular pizza joint serving the traditional dairy pizzas. But they also have a [...]
Help PCRM stop the Tulane University School of Medicine from using anesthetized live pigs as objects for their training. Once the training session is complete, the pigs are killed. Only 5% of schools are using this method of teaching in this type of course. PCRM is asking everyone to call/email and ask the Tulane University [...]

I’ve been wondering, now that the film is done and has made the rounds, what comes next for the activists and masterminds behind The Cove? How do they/we continue to put public pressure on Taiji and stop them from slaughtering dolphins? Well, the creators of The Cove have no interest in stepping down off their [...]
I am certainly not a fan of hunting. However, not all kinds of hunting are the same. Internet hunts and canned hunts are in a class all their own. What do those terms mean? The practice of killing animals remotely via the Internet and the abhorrent practice of shooting confined, tame, exotic animals in an [...]
I love the change of seasons. For the past two days in NY the temperature has been in the 50′s. It’s March and the sun is rising at 6am. It makes me think of tank tops and dresses and shoes for the spring and summer. Cow Jones Industrials, a fabulous vegan boutique in Chatham, NY [...]
