I have decided to created another blog with a podcast: Once Upon A Vegan.
I'm doing so because I dug myself into a corner when I created Provoked. I started early on using this blog as an almost exclusively satirical forum, where I would launch into diatribes regularly... or as I observed the darkest elements of the animal abusing world. I started feeling that I was restricted to only this; and I just couldn't post more personal things, like whatever was on my mind... Such as changing parts of my world and how I'm negotiating my way through them... I have discoveries, insights, and questions; And things I just need to talk about in a more intimate way than what I feel I've allowed myself here. I'll still post under Provoked those things that fit here... No, I am not giving up my outlet for my sarcastic nature! :)
I intend to say the same things at Once Upon A Vegan, but include many thoughts I'd leave unspoken here.
I hope my readers will journey with me as I navigate my way, and awkwardly attempt reclaim my innocence... and to tell My Vegan Story.

Animal Rights Confrence Los Angeles - Vegan Activism
National Animal Rights Conference! Wow! What a great event!
The worlds longest running animal rights conference is coming up this weekend, from July 16-20th in Los Angeles, CA. This is a great opportunity to meet other activists, get inspired by incredible speakers who have accomplished incredible things, and of course to stock up on vegan food and Animal Rights gear!
Wish circumstances were different so that I might go too... But I've got great friends who will return with lots of enthusiasm and new strategies. Have fun guys -- I'm there in spirit!

800,000 CHICKEN INFERNO - BIRDS BURNED LIVE FACTORY FARM HELL
Here we go again.
July 10th - Amarillo, Texas: "An area egg company is still counting its losses after a fire destroyed several of its buildings in Farwell.
Cal-Maine foods estimates four hen layer houses were destroyed and a fifth has severe smoke damage. 800,000 birds died in the fire that started Thursday evening after five".
And as horrible as being burned alive is... folks will still insist that the animal foods they eat are raised and killed "humanely". Because we are all civilized and good people, who would never allow innocent animals to be brutalized, burned or butchered... Without kindness - Without compassion. Right....
Other fires:
Thousands of Chickens Burned Alive
Factory Farm Infernos
25,000 Turkeys Burned Alive
