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?

I met my first turkey at an animal sanctuary in 2000. The sanctuary owner brought out a turkey named Olivia who had been rescued from a factory farm. As I sat on the grass and reached out to pet her, she climbed into my lap and fell asleep. I was flabbergasted and charmed.

Animal rights is a serious subject, but I do my best to find humor where I can, and I have some great help: there are almost two hundred cartoons included in the book, including dozens from the brilliant Bizarro strip.

Come for the body, stay for the soul.

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

I wholeheartedly encourage any steps in the right direction, in whatever time frame works for the person on the path.
