The Compassion Experiment: Words Put !nto Action

We were watching a documentary, there was a polar bear.
We watched, as days passed into months, he swam and swam.
He was exhausted.
He couldn't find land, or food.
Once he made it to land, he was so tired and hungry.
He was too exhausted, to kill for supper.
He died, starving.

All I could think was:
"Give the bear some @#$%ing food, man!"
What the hell.
I don't want to watch some bear suffer, just to see how it will die.
It's cruel, feed it some @#$%ing food.
Am I alone here?

If you can stop a death from happening, shouldn't you stop it?
Would the world end, if you gave that bear a steak?
No.

Jane Goodall, now see she did it right.
It wasn't exploitive, she fought tooth and nail for animals she loved.
I love gorilla's in the mist.
Who doesn't?

We should all be so noble.
It's her total commitment, and absolute conviction that make her so invincible.
She's still kickin' it real.
I did not know this.

We rented the documentary calledTaking Root It was unbelievable.
UNBELIEVABLE.

Wangari Maathai, wow, what can I say, you blow my mind.
That's true Compassion, at it's best!
I take my hat off to you, my lady.

People love to talk to us about eating compassionately, it's amazing.
Everyone is very encouraging.
I just tell them the truth.
As I see it.

Thanks to everyone for all the great ideas, links and websites.
This thing is turning into a little community, it's great.

Note: we realize these numbers are not a true representation, but in our minds, this helps to visualize the damage we are causing when we eat animal by-products.

Ladybird Animal Sanctuary

A couple weeks ago, we had in our living room, three big hearted individuals, Melissa McClelland , Janine Stoll and Lisa Winn , from Ladybird Animal Sanctuary . The following is the transcription of the interview. You can find the video version up above. How did it all start? “I’m an animal lover, and a full-time touring musician," said McClellan. "And I think I just wanted part of my life to focus on my love for animals, because so much of my life is wrapped up being on the road. So I brought it up with these girls, and we all thought it was a great idea, so we’ve been talking about it for a few years now.” “I had already been doing it small scale," said Winn, "because I’ve worked at animal shelters, and had already been rescuing and fostering for a number of years.” “I felt like the three of us come from different backgrounds, and we work so nicely together," said McClelland. "Our personalities, we just click as friend. And Lisa has the background w

I must have picked the right font, because it looks like Gop 10 ! Ok, it's no surprise that I'm procrastinating writing my newest project, though I did write a short story for the Toronto Star Short Story contest, which means I still haven't given up my dream of becoming a successful author. Lucky for me, being a successful author means: completing a project I start. Also, it should't come as a surprise that I'm single, so I've compiled a Top 10 list of the reasons for this. Top 10 Reasons I’m Not Surprised I Don’t Have a Girlfriend. #10 - I trim my toenails with my teeth. #9 - When I pulled my laundry out of the dryer, I didn’t find any underwear, that’s when I realized I was still wearing the pair I washed last week. #8 - I’m broke and broken. #7 - I run like a girl and sit down to pee. #6 - I cut my own hair. #5 - I cry when I watch ‘The Notebook’. #4 - I’ll eat anything that’s free. #3 - I’ll drink anything that’s free. #2 - The minute I realize I’

Best Metal'ish albums of 2022

We use the term Metal’ish because some of our favorite albums could be considered metal adjacent, not metal necessarily, but awesome none-the-less and worthy of this list. We are always on the hunt for the next awesome metal album and this year there was no shortage of great stuff, in fact, this list could have been a lot longer. Finding all these albums on our own would be near impossible. What we do is wait until all the YouTube metal nerds put out their metal lists and we watch them - 20 or so videos so far -  and any albums we haven’t heard yet, we check them out. Basically we let them find all the good albums that we missed and then check them out and see what we think. The criteria for this list is easy: is it a kick ass album? Yes or no? If no, then it’s probably power metal. If yes, we listen to it until we get sick of it. Anyways, here is the list of top metal’ish albums of 2022. We are reversing a trend and instead of making you wait to see what is #1, we will just start ther
