Goodbye, friends

But not forever (hopefully!!)

I am moving to another blog, @tipukai. I will be making a post on there soon. Right now however I want to say a warm goodbye to the first vegan blog I've ever held, and the 1,000+ followers who've stuck with it.

I love all of you guys and hopefully we can move into the future together!!

Just a list of a few links I've found really helpful when dealing with compassion fatigue, burnout, and trauma as a vegan. These are issues that are super common but are really not talked about enough!

~ Compassion Fatigue Resources for Animal Activists

~ what every vegan should know about burnout (resource list included)

~ Self-care as a vegan

~  Animal Activist Support Line

~ a podcast I highly recommend!

~  Some ways to cope with compassion fatigue

just saying but trans vegans, lgbq vegans, vegans of colour, fat vegans, poor and working class vegans, chronically ill vegans, and disabled vegans do so much for the vegan community.

stop telling everyone to go vegan and save the environment. most vegan products and materials are just plastic. plastic is harming the environment much more than eating meat is :/

Actually meat production, specifically beef and milk, produces a lot of the worlds methabe which is one of the key causes of climate change.

And what are your meats milks and other animal products packaged in?

looking for advice: my 12yo sis is vegan & i’m (20) attempting to go vegan. anyway, we have 5 rescue hens that we love very much, but they produce about 15+ eggs in a week or so. and our parents just can’t get through those alone. but my sister resents the fact that my parents have been giving eggs to close friends and family. i understand it’s a form of exploitation but the hens are producing so much and it ends up going to waste. how would you approach this?

Well a lot of vegan chicken owners that I know leave eggs for their chickens to eat by themselves. The chickens lose a LOT of nutrients in producing one egg, and by eating them they can gain back the nutrients that they have lost. Because chickens that are not selectively bred do not lay an egg every day, it puts a huge strain on them, so leaving their eggs for them to eat helps to keep them healthy and happy. :)

People who get fake upset at vegans about the exploited migrant workers who picked *our* vegetables sure are in for a ride when they find out who killed their cheeseburger.
