some lambs and decides to become vegetarian

 

Crocodile Smile: book and tape of songs from animals'

viewpoints. example: crocodile sings " I am not a

Hat "

 

Hunter and His Dog: Boy learns animal compassion with

the help of his dog

 

There is a new book that was recently released and

its all about the horrors of the fast-food industry,

but I can't think of the name of it right now. If you

went to Amazon or such and searched for fast food, I

bet it would pop up.

The Vegan Handbook is full of recipes, but it also

has stories -- the ones that inspired me to go Vegan.

There's one from someone who was hired at a farm to

collect the chicken eggs and the horrors she saw --

chickens with their wings twisted in the cage holes,

broken off, stuck, chickens scratched to pieces from

being stuffed in a cage with other chickens and not

enough room, etcetera. Also a story from a man who

was raised on a dairy farm -- he tells of the mother

cow's agony at having her new calf taken from her, and

her anguish at being hooked up to a milking machine.

As a nursing mother, that story made me very

compassionate for the mother and calf, and that's when

I stopped eating dairy.

 

One other thing that I learned from a vegetarian web

site: if my kids ask for something at the store that's

not vegan or they want to eat at Chik-Fil-A, etc. I

respond with " no,we don't eat dead animals " . Nursing

my daughter helps with not eating dairy because I

express to my children how silly it is for a human to

take milk for a baby cow and drink or eat it. They

laugh and say that only mommy milk is for humans. =)

 

Hope some of this helped! Sorry it is so long!

 

Warmest Wishes,

Tanya (mommy to Justin -6 and Kailey-2)

Here's another Kid's book to add to the Book List:

 

FOUL PLAY, DESDEMONA by Beverly Keller (1989)

A Thanksgiving story about kid activists trying to

prevent killing of turkeys. It's a chapter book I got

for my 8 yr old. Seems to be addressing 8-16 yr old

kids.

 

Peace,

Michelle
