Although I stopped eating all animal products at once, some vegans transition more gradually as they feel increasingly comfortable with their food choices. Today would be a great day to start either way and help stop animal cruelty one vegan meal at a time. 🌱☮️

Please sign this petition. There seems no end to the exploitation of wildlife by greedy humans.
In 3 months, bluefin tuna will be migrating back into our waters, where they'll be met with a fleet of commercial and recreational* fishers. It's a horrible way to welcome these magnificent, charismatic creatures. Let's try to get this to 250,000 before they arrive.

Last weekend the VLM planted a future wet woodland on 11.2 acres removed from dairy farming in 2024. This will now be an oasis for many species to flourish & find sanctuary, where no animals can be exploited, farmed or shot. We made a real difference 🌱🦡
