Vegan Butterfly's photostream
|
Rational and civil discussion/debate is welcome here, but I do not welcome personal attacks and teasing on my photostream!
---------------------------------------------------------------
Hi! I'm a 26-year-old vegan in Ontario, Canada. I love photography, drawing, painting, crafts, computers, video games, web design, graphic design, downhill skiing, music, anime, wood art, and vegan cooking/baking. I believe in respect for all sentient beings.
I have a wonderful husband named Alex and a wonderful daughter named Rose. I care for 5 adopted/rescued non-human family members in my home: Gaara (degu), Tifa (chinchilla), Neneko (chinchilla), Mouse (chinchilla), and Jack (cat).
No, I am not a PETA member. I am actually against PETA for many reasons. I am an abolitionist. I believe in animal rights and am against speciesism.

"If you care about nonhumans, please stop eating, wearing, or using them and products made from them. If animals matter morally, we cannot justify treating them as resources. It's not a matter of exploiting them "humanely;" it's a matter of not exploiting them." ~ Gary L Francione
"Please consider going vegan. It is the most effective personal statement you can make about rejecting the status of nonhuman animals as commodities. If you are vegan, please educate, in a creative and nonviolent way, anyone and everyone you can about veganism. Finally, if you are able, please adopt or foster a homeless animal." ~ Gary L Francione

"Thanks for adding me as a contact! Veg*anism is our next evolutionary step as a species, and it's people like us who are pushing for that evolution. I mean, what could be better than saving 95 lives per year simply by eating badass food that doesn't rot inside you? Nothing!"

"Thanks for the add vegan butterfly! Earthlings is an amazing movie that changed my life. FYI: the entire movie is veiwable on google movies. However, I strongly encourage everyone to buy a copy. The director is hoping to sell enough copies to fund getting it translated into more languages and can only do that if we buy it and show support. www.isawearthling... ~namaste."
