Because I've been thinking about the evolution of my own thinking--and languaging--regarding animal rights. Both animal rights groups and animal welfare groups use "compassion" frequently. Then again, so do people who kill animals for a living. After all, they "love" the animals they kill. Or vegan pumpkin pie.

My inbox this month has informed me that November is Vegan Awareness Month! Here's my attempt to bring it all together in an Animal Person post. I am a vegan who has adopted a diabetic greyhound who eats vegan food ( Natural Balance ), and who is adopting a boy from Russia. At least she eats vegan food, I tell myself.

I get so sad when I hear about the mistreatment of animals that it really affects me, but at the same time I want to be able to create change in the world.
