It is in our own best interest to stop exploiting and killing members of other species for our purposes. We need to abolish all animal agriculture before it abolishes us.

My comic on the life of a dairy cow is out from behind the hard paywall!
I wrote this as a hopefully definitive answer to a question I've gotten for many years: "What's wrong with dairy?"
Once you really see what dairy is, it's like the scales falling from your eyes

Tradition should be a bridge to the past, not a barricade against ethical progress. Let’s not forget that evolving traditions to embrace compassion and ethics isn’t breaking them; it’s improving them for a world that desperately needs it.

Claiming tradition justifies all is like saying because your ancestors rode horses, you should shun cars for horseback.

In this week's column, I explore what I see as a very real prospect of systemic collapse, caused by Trump's actions, and suggest we start preparing.

Veganism isn’t about vegans—it’s about animals. Shift the focus where it belongs, and going vegan becomes a whole lot clearer. Vegans aren’t the point; the animals are.

Polyurethane-coated fabrics generate a lot of pollution, but don’t hold a candle to the pollution of leather production:
-carbon from the ranch
-nitrates from the slaughterhouse
-ferrochrome from the smelter
-chromic oxide from the tannery
Leather is by far the worst fashion industry on Earth.

One of my favorite articles published this year is @jandutkiewicz.bsky.social’s You’re Wrong About PETA.
The oft-maligned animal rights group is typically the butt of jokes or even villainized, but the reality is PETA has been extremely important to making progress in this space for decades.

Just a friendly reminder that turkeys are actually cool, social creatures, who probably don't deserve to be killed in mass quantities just because of habit.

The word #Animal comes from the Latin word anima, meaning "soul". Later, animale was used, meaning "living being, a being that breathes".
Other animals are living, breathing, souls.
