Let's help end the largest and most
pervasive form of animal abuse
remaining in America - factory farming.
It's not fun to think about,
but it's important to understand that factory farms
dominate food production in our country today.
These horrific mega factories
employ systematically abusive practices
that maximize agribusiness profits
at the expense of
not to mention
the environment,
our communities,
and even our health.
It's frustrating. But here's an easy way to
help do something to stop it.
Sign the petition started by Farm Sanctuary that
urges the administration to support policy and legislation
protecting animals,
the earth,
and citizens
from factory farming’s harmful effects.
They need 25,000 signatures by July 5, 2012.
They are half-way there.
Your signature matters!
Please sign today!
Love your blog! Super cute name for it! And most importantly, such an awesome message! My family and I recently went vegan and it's so nice to come across like minded people! I'm having a bit of a difficult time with everyone thinking we're crazy! I have a blog dedicated to my scrapbooking hobby and I have been on the fence about talking too much about being vegan because I don't want to upset any of my readers but it's so important to try to get the info out there. Your blogs definitely encouraged me to take the leap! :)
ReplyDeleteOh - you are so not crazy, Audra! You are compassionate and kind. And I'm so glad I could inspire you on your journey. I think sharing your truth with people in a gentle way that inspires without judging can never be wrong. What is the name of your blog? My sister scrapbooks - she might be interested!
DeleteCheck out The Gardener's Cottage blog too. She is vegan, but it isn't the central theme of her blog- just a message that makes its way in from time to time. Hope this helps. Keep in touch!
