Vegans, we have a problem. We’re insulting each other, we’re alienating each other, we’re destroying each other’s businesses and reputations, and we’re playing right into the hands of the animal exploitation industry.

Simple Ways To Help Animals This Season
Let’s face it- the holiday season is BUSY. We’re traveling, we’re frantically searching for perfect casserole recipes to bring to family dinners, we’re standing in lines to snag the best deals, we’re tearing through our closets because we just know we have snow pants in there somewhere, we’re trying to figure out how our parentsContinue reading “Simple Ways To Help Animals This Season”
Why I Donate To Your Non-Profit’s Competitor
This post was published in 2015, when I was still running the animal rescue themed apparel line mentioned below. I closed that business in 2017, but as I revisit this post in 2021, my advice remains the same! In both my personal and professional lives, I work with numerous non-profit organizations. I frequently see postsContinue reading “Why I Donate To Your Non-Profit’s Competitor”

In addition to rescuing animals (ARC specializes in busting puppy mills, dog fighting rings, and hoarding situations), Scotlund is also an incredibly talented artist. The subjects of his paintings are primarily animalsContinue reading “My Week with Scotlund: Acrylics & Advocacy”
Saving Nero
Hendrick Boards is among my favorite companies in existence. Run by two brothers, this skateboard & apparel company donates a massive amount of their profits (typically around 40%, depending on the item) to independent, deserving animal rescue organizations (they have more than 300 rescue partners!). When you shop with them, the donation sparked by yourContinue reading “Saving Nero”
