Primo is fed a #vegan diet. He turned 16 last month.

All my many dogs have been fed vegan. All lived 14-17 years.

#Dogs are metabolically omnivore. Dogs can eat vegan, too. I've seen 20 different vets; none of them had a problem with my dog on a vegan diet. I ensure they get all nutrients.

No kidding, when I became vegan (and vegetarian) EVERYONE said you're going to die, to me, all the time.

My new pinned post for my 47th year of being #vegan.

I'm living proof that humans can thrive without funding the intentional violent & cruel assault of other #animals.

Why don't the masses see it? Just the photo alone, forget the fancy words....how can people support this cruelty and violence and think it's normal and acceptable?

wow - freaky. He should be removed.

And also, on another note, Biden is receiving radiation treatment for cancer at the moment; it's so unbelievably inappropriate to publicly put him down constantly, true or not true, just so mean. Trump is a sicko.

Divest from #AnimalAg (animal agriculture)

#Veganism is a boycott from the cruel, unethical, & unnecessary use of other #animals.

Banner from a Berkeley, CA. ~ In August 2021, the Berkeley City Council voted to divert half the city's spending on animal-based foods to plant-based foods by 2024.

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

I've been vegan for 47 yrs & have super high cholesterol. It's genetic. I consume zero cholesterol. My body is making it. I would be nowhere without my coffee; it gives me my "go-go-energy". Blood counts not normal. I have to take very high doses of vegan Vitamin D3. But I'm vegan & doing fine.

#NoKings protests nationwide October 18th. Calling for the biggest #protest America has ever seen. No, Mike Johnson, NOT people who "hate America", but people who hate seeing America taken over by a fascist, authoritarian, oligarchic, unconstitutional, criminal, inhumane & violent administration.

Interesting point.

But the people I get my news from and a google search told me that the recipient might not be all that "peaceful".

Misinformation. Look all the likes you got on something that is NOT truthful.

Not true. No reliable source said this except some Facebook account. I googled it and it said: The claim that Stephen Colbert donated $12 million to homeless shelters is a hoax.

I'm reading a lot of negative and unpeaceful things about her. Never heard of her before, just listening to some commenters and googled negative things about her, and she doesn't seem like a person who should have won a "Peace Prize".
