1. Compassion Is Not Speciesist
Thirty leaders in social sciences including Dr.Melanie Joy, Dr Will Tuttle, Jeffrey Masson, Dr Jonathan Balcombe and Professor Casey Taft have signed an open letter to a group of 12 organizations urging institutions whose work focus on empathy and compassion asking them to include all sentient beings in their work and mission.
Among the organizations targeted are Stanford's Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education, the Greater Good Science Center at Berkeley, and the The Dalai Lama Center for Ethics and Transformative Values at MIT.

2. This Week’s Famous Quote
The more we connect, the more we understand and the more we love, and this
love propels us not only to leave home, questioning our culture’s attitude
of domination and exclusion, but also to return home, speaking on behalf of
those who are vulnerable.
~ Dr. Will Tuttle, The World Peace Diet

4. Humane Dairy? Not so.
This comprehensive information - What You Need to Know About Humane Dairy - helps you learn what you need to know about 'humane dairy.' More people are learning about the brutality of dairy factory farms, and therefore they gravitate toward dairy products labeled as ‘humane”, which is sadly a very deceiving term.
