Animal rights is a serious subject, but I do my best to find humor where I can.

Some of us seem to be born with a drive to try to make the world kinder.

Seriously, many people have told me they can't eat turkeys anymore after getting to know them. I think in the wider world, when the stories air on the media, they help banish the idea that birds, other than parrots, are somehow lesser.

Once people learn, it is hard to forget and go back.

I am all too human, I don't always do the right thing, so how can I expect others to perform perfectly on the issues that are my top priority?

Mostly, I make sure to stay keenly aware of my own shortcomings so that I am more patient with others.

I try to meet people where they are.
