Well, we are entering 2022 fur is still a fashion statement. While countries are banning fur farming they're not outright banning fur, but it is a step in the right direction. Arctic foxes can travel up to 100 miles per day. They innately want to dig and pounce, especially when hunting. These things are impossible when they are crammed into tiny cages, fed to morbid obesity, given no freedom, and tortured to death all while staring into the forests where they should live free. We call ourselves the most intelligent creatures on Earth and say things are humane or inhumane but we are by far the least humane creatures to walk on the planet. Others take exactly what they need while our lust for things seems insatiable. We have to do better.  IG: farm_sanctuary_tales  To support the channel: Paypal

Welcome! This is just me blathering about what I'll be talking about and why it interests me. To start it will be about farm sanctuaries, animal rights, veganism/vegetarianism and I'm hoping to expand to interviews with farm sanctuary owners and employees, animal rights activists, and other like-minded folks.  Check out my Instagram for more about veganism, animal rights, studies around both, my children's comic book, and the podcast.
