Every so often we compile a few links from across the web. The websites we link to span the gamut, but they all have something in common: they’re animal-friendly.

The writers are vegans or animal rescuers. They’re animal advocates or experts on nutrition. They’re chefs or sanctuary volunteers. They’re people who work to make the world more animal-friendly.

Today’s theme is stories. We have a variety of stories, all relating somehow to veganism or animals.

• The story non-vegan parents tell their kids about farm animals: “We take kids to see farmed animals at fairs and farms as such, and we encourage them to look at the animals, to observe them, to touch them (don’t worry–they’re gentle, we explain).

• A cat and his person, their story: “Toby, my 10-year-old, 15-lb. Maine Coon mix, my problem child, is the reason I’m here at Petfinder.” more here >>
• The story of pig “euthanasia”: “Millions of piglets are killed inhumanely each year in Canada by PACing – Pounding Against Concrete. Many survive the practice but are thrown into the garbage bins regardless. There they suffer for upwards of seven days as the rendering trucks come to pick them up only once a week.” read more >>
