I could be reading into this, but it does appear that there's some discomfort on the part of non-vegans when they look through the calendar and I tell them the story. And when you're checking out at the health food store with your cans and bag of vegan dog food, how could that not be a seedy opportunity? Segue into horse racing.

There will be no greyhound corpse on our table, no turkey corpse and no pig corpse. The two objections to a vegan Thanksgiving that I hear most often are: It's our tradition and Because it tastes good. Justice for beings who look very different from us but who, like us, experience pleasure and pain, boredom and frustration.

mikey, my stance can be seen in the posts about Project Treadstone (and if you type Project Treadstone into the Google Search box just below my half-blind, diabetic greyhound, Violet Rays, on the right, you'll get a dozen more posts). Yes, sterilizing someone--anyone--without their consent is an act of dominance. Hence, it's a Gray Matter.)

Though I have never had an issue with gluten, I have decided to lower my intake of it as an experiment, just to see if I feel any kind of difference. Tags: Ethics Food and Drink Greyhound Matters. I may never use flour again. After all of the groin talk, it wasn't the groin. Thanks for all of the well wishes.

Here's my recommendation as someone with six years of experience, not as a veterinarian : Insulin for humans (Humulin N/NPH) is just fine for most dogs, plus it's synthethic and more in line with veganism--animal cells are used in the production of Vetsulin.

And I received confirmation of something I've known since 2004, when we adopted retired racing greyhound, Violet Rays: That there's sort of a critical period for dog-behavior acquisition, and if it's missed, the dog isn't likely to mature into the type of loving being whose behavior we've come to associate with "pet" dogs.

There is a general consensus that vegetarianism and veganism are different philosophically. I do think that in my lifetime greyhound racing will end, circuses will be animal-free, elephants and marine mammals won't be in zoos, and fur might even be banned. I'm still not sure why vegan education can't be part of any of these efforts. ).
