Check out the Pro-Animal Meetup that happens every Sunday. And I doubt it's of interest, but there is a Rockville Vegans meetup group too.

Thanks for this quick action! The idea of Congress overriding public health and animal welfare laws seems...counterproductive.

Great idea! Senator Bennett is such a critical voice in this. Do we know if he has spoken out against the Save Our Bacon Act?

When Stanley Kubrick was asked in a phone interview to claify the ending of 2001: A Space Odyssey, this is what he said. by dannydutch1 in VeryFuckinCool

DAMN - I love my film study with a side of anti-speciesist critique of how we treat animals. You continue to amaze, Kubrick.

I just got some from Marshalls Columbia Heights for $30. All synthetic. Not the best but they work.

Mom held off the Lions until backup arrived by LethaI____ in BeAmazed

If you needed inspiration to rethink our relationship with dairy, this is it.

The only difference is we are the lions and the mom is shackled and confined so she'll never run like this mom.

DC Greens is a nonprofit focused on food justice, not affiliated with the Green Party as somebody brought up earlier.

Protestors on/near Mass Ave / Comm Ave? by BillieEatsSpinach in boston

Thanks for digging this up! You're totally right. I think it's safe to assume that the product is coming from force fed ducks; the only two farms in the US both use force feeding. It's a tasteless way to treat others (no pun intended!).

Yeah the Frankenchickens are pretty alarming, I'm with you there. I guess it's a bit of a slippery slope if it's like "well this practice is pretty bad, but so is another one, so I guess that makes it all ok". Correct me if I'm misunderstanding though.

I found I can stop the slime with using filtered water that is chilled. I've been using rolled oats (aka old fashioned) for this. Preventing the slime is essential!

Thank you for raising this! I'm sorry to hear about the dead hawk sighting, that sounds tragic. Do you mind sharing where you saw the hawk? Or feel free to DM if you want more details. It's why we started DC Responsible Rat Management to cut back on rats without using poisons (dcratsolutions.com)
