Nat Geo Gets an Intervention

Sarah

Premiering tonight on the National Geographic channel is Animal Intervention. The series kicks off tonight at 9pm following, “animal advocate crusader Alison Eastwood, animal expert Donald Schultz, and activist Billy McNamara.” Listening to a recent episode of Our Hen House has made me excited and curious about this show. On episode 140, Jasmin and Mariann interviewed Delcianna Winders, the Director of Captive Animal Law Enforcement for the PETA Foundation. In the interview, they discuss how the law is being used to rescue wild animals from poor living conditions. Animal Intervention has the opportunity to raise awareness. While you’ll have to have premium channels to … Continue reading Nat Geo Gets an Intervention

Gathering for Sacred Chow

Sarah

The weather in NYC is gorgeous. Not too hot. So my father decided on a day trip. He loves hopping NJ transit and wandering around the city, particularly the museums. He’s criss-crossed the city in search of historical sites the way I seek out vegan food. His visits, without fail, include a veg meal. And this time, my sister joined us. We picked up forks in Sacred Chow on Sullivan Street, NYU territory. If you’re new to the place, the tapas are your best bet; smaller plates, but by no means small plates. My pops and sis split 3/$18. Continue reading Gathering for Sacred Chow

NBC’s “Harry’s Law” Tackles Animal Law

Sarah

Unless I’m on a treadmill, I don’t get to watch too much TV. After I got home from the gym Saturday night and made myself some yummy and healthy tacos, I sat down to whatever my sister happened to have on. Immediately I was pulled into Harry’s Law at the mention of “great apes.” Since I did come in at the tail end, I didn’t quite understand the depth of the storyline, but I was excited nonetheless. The acting is really powerful; it stars Kathy Bates, so that’s to be expected. Like having a vegan baker on Cupcake Wars, having … Continue reading NBC’s “Harry’s Law” Tackles Animal Law

The Dirty V: Indoctrinate Me

Sarah

“Last Friday night, yeah we were danced on tabletops and we took…” Oh, wait, no. Actually I was stuck at work late, but that’s good cause it culminated with two slices of vegan pizza at Vinnie’s in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Before that, though, it included a conversation with one of my coworkers. Discourse is important; no matter where the channels of communication lead, take the ride. On her way out, she noticed my necklace. “Is that a pig?” “Yes, it says, ‘Friend Not Food’.” “It’s cute. I don’t agree. But cute.” Though commenting earlier in the day about wishing she could … Continue reading The Dirty V: Indoctrinate Me

ASPCA Digital Ad Campaign Serves Cause

Sarah

While I was not shy to express my disappointment with the ASPCA x Forever 21 line of t-shirts, credit is due for their digital advertising campaign. As to when these ads began running online, I do not know. Since I do not enjoy voicing negativity regarding such causes, I may have been in a unique position to notice these ads. The organization’s television commercials are well known. Celebrities, like Sarah McLachlan, with a dog or cat pleading for a nominal donation, have never moved me to action. I may like the particular person or ‘aww’ at the animal, but the … Continue reading ASPCA Digital Ad Campaign Serves Cause
