Did you see that Newsweek editor David Noonan went vegan (see " I Can't Believe I'm Still a Vegan ")? He clearly needs a bit of encouragement as he finds it "sort of a pain in the ass. And kind of boring, too." But congratulations to Noonan for doing it and writing about it and sticking with it!

I'm very proud of supporting Defenders because I think they do great work and they have a really good magazine too. I'm finally getting caught up on some reading and came across this article in the Defenders of Wildlife wildlife. Very depressing sometimes though. The summer issue had a good article about walruses. Surprisingly, they are overlooked in discussions of Arctic species threatened by global warming. We tend to talk about penguins and polar bears, but these guys are important too.

I don't pay as much attention as I should by watching regular television networks or reading newspapers or magazines that reflect the zeitgeist, but I do get snippets. All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight with you, then you win. Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948).

In the e-era now, print magazines are going the way of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker.

Take a moment, then, to give thanks for the remaining good ones, the primary example being National Geographic.
Ocean Advocacy and Animal Rights

DECEMBER 23, 2009
I was reading Ocean Conservancy's magazine today. We support two ocean protection organizations: People for Puget Sound (local) and the Ocean Conservancy. For the past couple of issues I've read, it has had a "sustainable seafood recipe." I understand that they are trying to encourage people to eat fish and other marine life that are not part of a collapsing fishery. The purpose is to protect ocean species as a whole. I'm not sure how this fits into my support of animal rights though.

In the early morning hours of October 17th, a lone activist infiltrated the fur farm at 92659 Simonsen Road in Astoria Oregon. About 1,500 mink were released from their cages with at least 200 of these being breeding stock. The fact that there is no fence around this farm should help ease their escape. This action is being claimed for the vegan straight edge community.
