I was thinking the other ...That's cool Bea! :)<br /><br />I was thinking the other day that I should put an ad on Craigslist asking if there are any other vegans in [name of town] just so I can feel like less of an "alien" as well.

And thanks for doing likewise.<br /><br />Looking forward to hearing some of your book! Every time I come across another 4-H article I wince, but think to myself, somewhere someone will tell the real story... No pressure here - But we're counting on you! ;)<br /><br />I remember last year an online group of us started a letter campaign against the Wagner Farm, in Glenview, Illinois. If you ever needed more material there's an in depth dialog between advocates against 4-H and the parents who enrolled their kids to participate. Of course, they claimed the kids were fine with it... Or that they'd get over any foolish sentiments quickly... I know you've heard it all before but in case your interested:<br />http://triblocal.com/glenview/community/stories/2010/07/taxpayer-funds-support-needless-slaughter-of-baby-4-h-animals/<br /><br />So keep us updated... I'll check in on your site in the hopes of an audio post. Thank you so much for putting your energy into writing this story that really needs a truthful telling! :)Bea Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13981537551810309024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804054451517691779.post-41071082416593422532011-04-23T16:45:17.792-04:002011-04-23T16:45:17.792-04:00Hi Have Gone Vegan!

As I was walking in a parking lot I notice a few animal rescue and AR bumper stickers on a car and stopped pronto in my tracks! It was like I was an "alien" on another planet who had finally met one of "my own" kind!<br /><br />I jotted a note to say "I'm veg too!" and placed in on the windshield. I have high hopes to meet with someone in my immediate area - Maybe get something "veg" going in (slow) Polk County! Believe it, I feel your joy! Goodie, goodies!!! :)Bea Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13981537551810309024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804054451517691779.post-2933005910504750002011-04-15T07:24:56.677-04:002011-04-15T07:24:56.677-04:00WOW!

Bea, this is so wonderful of you to give sanctuaries all this attention AND for you to post a glorious photo of sweet Mama Red right smack in the middle of your blog. And thanks to all who want to read my novel! I am writing as fast as I can and soon will be posting audio clips of small bits of it. (http://www.brenmcclain.com)<br /><br />On behalf of farm animals everywhere, thank you thank you thank you! Am going to post your blog to my whole world. Yes -- let's get the word out. <br /><br />Thanks again, Bea!Bren McClainhttp://www.brenmcclain.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804054451517691779.post-56475800450592851222011-04-13T22:10:18.193-04:002011-04-13T22:10:18.193-04:00Found an interview with Twyla conducted by an orga...Found an interview with Twyla conducted by an organization right in my own region!

Thanks for the cheers and ...As always veganelder... Thanks for the cheers and support! <3<br /><br />Double-ditto thanks to you too SBH CLAY! Glad you liked Cow Sanctuary and the sweet story of Helga and Harvey. It certainly did all end "Good"! ;)<br /><br />Thanks Have Gone Vegan! I agree I'd love to read Bren's book too... In novel form it might reach an audience that would otherwise be missed if presented by just the "hard facts" of it all. I however, would be intrigued to read the first hand experiences she accumulates. Many I'm sure would confirm what is obvious about animals, children and "livestock". I really should forward this post to Bren in appreciation --- As I catch up - I will.<br /><br />As far as sanctuaries in Canada the only advocate I'm familiar with is animal rights activist Twyla Francois - I'm thinking if you google her name you might find more info and maybe a lead to some sanctuaries. Or...here may have a few as well:<br />http://torontopigsave.wordpress.com/support-local-farm-sanctuaries/<br />Hope that helps - Good luck! :)Bea Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13981537551810309024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804054451517691779.post-31542014097044827532011-04-03T21:13:39.996-04:002011-04-03T21:13:39.996-04:00Thanks for the link to Bren's site -- that'...Thanks for the link to Bren's site -- that's a novel I would love to read! And I thought your reply to Garnet really put them in their place. ;)<br /><br />I too have been thinking about sanctuaries as I'd like to visit one, so am determined to find and list ones locally (here in Ontario, Canada) and put them on my blog as well. I know there's a database of sanctuaries in the US, but wish there was one for Canada! And maybe there is, but I just don't know about it.Have Gone Veganhttp://www.havegonevegan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804054451517691779.post-73114528004759293522011-03-30T09:12:26.447-04:002011-03-30T09:12:26.447-04:00Double-ditto veganelder's horrays!
I enjoyed ...Double-ditto veganelder's horrays!<br /><br />I enjoyed reading not only this blog, but also the ones linked to it. Especially Cow Sanctuary and its cowches (and rats!). What a fabulous idea!
