Sat 1st Nov is World Vegan Day!
World Vegan Day is a day of celebration for vegans everywhere. On Sat 1st Nov 2008, celebrate in style at the West Midlands Vegan Festival.
World Vegan Day is an opportunity for vegans and their friends across the world to celebrate and promote veganism. The world's first Vegan Society (here in the UK of course!) was born on November 1st 1944 - started by Donald Watson and friends. So each year on November 1st (since 1994), vegans everywhere celebrate World Vegan Day. The Vegan Society have of course now found a new home, right here in the West Midlands. How many more reasons do vegans need to flock to the West Midlands Vegan Festival and celebrate in style!!

Who I'd like to meet:
West Midlands Vegan Festival's Friend Space (Top 40)
Update: Stray black dog who's friend was killed by hit & run truck.
Pictures I took today 10/22 Thurs. of the stray black dog whose best friend, another black male dog was purposely run over & killed by someone in a white truck couple months ago in front of me & this dog who lost the only living thing he ever let near him.
He's eating a bowl of dry food, always takes food out the bowl & puts it on the ground before eating. I took the pics through my front window screen, he's a lot further than it looks. We built a cover over the bowl so the food doesn't spoil in rain, still won't come in garage to eat.
Little guy's gone underground, we think he stays under a small bridge that goes over a running stream partly on our property. He still hangs out in the cow pasteur across the road. My husband says there's small hollow caves, nooks & crannies where he can protect himself from bad weather under bridge.
He's not skinny anymore & is eating food we put out for daily. We still try to coax him but he runs, he's become wild.
My friends here followed this story since the other dog was alive & I was trying to rescue both. You showed a lot of ki

Tesco Torture Turtles! They die a prolonged death in agony, anyone can wield the knife and wild populations are being devastated. But Tesco claim there’s nothing wrong in selling live turtles to eat.
Tesco – one of Britain’s largest retailers – is currently making money off the back of animal torture, by selling live animals in their stores in China. Turtles are decapitated by staff without being stunned first – or are sold live to customers who take them home to kill in any way they choose. This cruel and barbaric trade is not only an animal welfare nightmare, it is also an ecological disaster.
Tesco is putting profit over principle. We know you won’t let them get away with it. More info - www. viva. org. uk
