I’ve been busy working for a most important animal cause: The Humane Society is sponsoring a drive to get 650,000 petition signatures for a proposition to mandate minimal humane treatment of calves, chickens and pigs. If successful, it would require that these factory-farmed animals be allowed enough room to turn around in their cages. So very minimal. And yet so hard to achieve in our less-than-compassionate cheap meat economy.
I’ve also been watching the most harrowing videos imaginable about factory farming. It would make you weep. If you are thinking about becoming a vegetarian, this stuff will put you over the edge.
So as an antidote, here’s a beautiful video that reflects a more hopeful side to humanity. Enjoy!

Thanks for this important post. I’m glad to see that the initiative will be on the November ballot! It’s got my vote, and I’ll tell others about it.
