Have Gone Vegan (since 2008, woot!)

About me

Location	Canada
Introduction	I became vegan in the summer of 2008 at the ripe old age of 46, and consider it the most important personal and political decision I've made to date. This blog is where I explore my thoughts on veganism and activism and my posts range in tone from friendly, snarky, hopeful and despairing, sometimes all in one post. Lastly, I'm an abolitionist in theory and ideals, but a pragmatist in approach. This means, for example, that I welcome any and all steps to animal use reduction, and don't necessarily oppose all welfare reforms. This stance undoubtedly earns me the label "new welfarist" by some, but whatever. Because as far as I can tell, endlessly repeating the mantra "the world is vegan if you want it" so far has not made it so, snort. ;)
