The habit of consuming animal products is deeply ingrained in each of us; we have grown up in a society that views nonhuman animals as little more than “resources” or “things” for our benefit.
They have taught us to differentiate between a child, a dog and a pig, to play with the first two and eat the third, without realizing that they are all individuals who want to enjoy their lives equally and deserve the same respect.
PWETTY PWEAAAASE. This is the face I always get when I say NO to Toupee. How do I not give into that!?! This morning I gave #Toupee and #Roux their breakfast of kale, cucumbers and blueberries. Meanwhile, my breakfast consisted of coffee and apple pie. All was fine and good until Toupee smelled my yummy breakfast. She quickly ran over, put her hand on my thigh and looked up at me with her signature “pwetty pwease” look. She then licked my hand as if to say…., “Please use this hand to pick up apple pie and put in my mouth thank you.” Man! #Rats really test your strength! So far…I’ve failed every single time. #ToupeeThursday ✨PS - To be clear, if I had Toupee’s face and someone was eating apple pie…I would use my charms to get in on that too. She’s a smart girl.
