On Easter and Peace To Bunnies: “what better way to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after he was crucified than to buy a rabbit. Whom you will put in a cage for the rest of her life, without a fraction of the stimulation she should have.” more here >>
Rabbit Peace: “Each year, unwanted, former Easter rabbits fill local rabbit rescues and humane societies. The goal of the ‘Make Mine Chocolate!’ campaign is to break the cycle of acquisition and relinquishment by educating the public about the responsibilities involved in keeping a companion rabbit before a rabbit is brought home.” more here >>
On Leaders of Peace: “It’s inexcusable that when we talk about luminaries such as Coretta Scott King, who was a committed vegan for the last decade-plus of her life, and César Chávez, who defended animals so unequivocally, we celebrate their work on behalf of humans and completely ignore their positions on animals.” more here >>
Peace & PETA: PETA podcast about nonviolence here >>
A Future of Peace For Lab Rats? “Are the lab rat’s days numbered? More accuracy seen in living cell stand-ins for human organs” more here >>
Peace To Seal Pups: The Canadian Club Scene: “Confronting these menacing assassins of the ice is no small feat. In the “kill or be killed” world of Seal Clubbing, there are but only a few ways to overpower such wicked beasts.” more here >>

Piecemeal Peace Ain’t Peace: “that’s the problem that factory farming faces. They’re totally locked into the status quo; relying on methods of animal care that the general public finds intolerable. ” more here >>
Thanks SO much for the article on Cesar Chavez! I knew he was veg, but I’ve had trouble finding info on that aspect of his life and character. Much appreciated.
All great links in this post, by the way. You’ve given me much to add to my ever-growing animal issues bookmarks. Keep up the great work
