Following in the footsteps of recent changes to Vogue and NYFW, Hearst (publisher of Harper's Bazaar, Esquire, Town & Country, etc) announced it will cease all promotion of animal fur across its editorial content and advertising. This is a win for wildlife!!

Agreed! NYFW happens twice a year, once in February and once in September...so they likely decided to implement this starting in September to give designers time to rework their collection if necessary. We're excited that it's a step in the right direction though!

We're cheering Tyson's shutdown of a NE plant, there aren't enough cows to keep it alive. With slaughter numbers at a 70 yr low, maybe it's not just cows disappearing, but the appetite for them. If this is what a shrinking herd can do, imagine the impact of growing a conscious.

Snuck it into the lineup...not into the package, we were shocked because we did read the label as you suggested. 99% of impossible's products have been vegan, so it was a shock to see a product that wasn't. Don't like it, don't comment on it :)

Jeers to Impossible Foods, which snuck a non-vegan product into its lineup and onto grocery store shelves across the country, betraying animals and vegans.

You'd think a nature conservancy (with $1.8 billion in their pocket) would have access to studies that show the most efficient ways to promote forest regeneration have nothing to do with killing deer... Learn more and take action here: friendsofanimals.org/nature-conse...

The post-halloween pumpkin crisis is real. Skip the dump! Instead:
Scoop out the insides and roast the seeds
Call your local sanctuary and see if they will take the pumpkins to use as food or enrichment
Toss them in a wooded area
Place them in your personal or city compost

Hi AJ! Horseshoe crabs sometimes need help flipping back over :) You can do so by gently flipping them by the edge of their shell (not their delicate tail)! I'm not sure about the foam, if you're ever concerned about the wellbeing of an animal please contact a local rescuer or wildlife rehabber :)
