It takes such a long time for the wheels of the law to turn, but they are making headway. 


Here's the site for the project if you'd like to know more about it:

http://www.nonhumanrightsproject.org/about-the-project-2/​

I think it's a fantastic project. 





Forgot to add that I think this article on the site mentioned above is interesting:

What is it about a vegetarian diet that you've never been able to afford?

I couldn't agree more! But... fish is poultry?   Oh, do you mean fish is 'chicken of the sea'?

On the whole, I agree with you, admin, especially for those of us who are fortunate and privileged enough to live in the so called 'first world'. 


Personally, I think we, as a human race, have reached a point in our evolution where not eating animals is the next step.

Someone will probably just invent a veggie meat-substitute cigarette.

Can't afford anything. it's an expensive lifestyle. the place that really sells vegetarian/vegan food is wholefoods and that's the most expensive place to shop for groceries. A friend of mine went shopping there that he posted once. i said don't spend too much he laughed and said thanks for the tip lol!!:)
yes fish is the "Chicken of the Sea" lol. I was wondering why they think it's ok to eat Chicken and fish. i dont think it is cos even tho it's not red meat its still an animal that you're eating.

You can't buy fruit & veg, rice, pasta, beans, lentils, dairy, bread, nuts, etc, in the regular supermarkets or markets? I find that hard to believe. Maybe if you think you have to replace the meat in your diet with meat-like substitutes or ready-made meals and take aways you will find the diet expensive, but you can eat very well and quite cheaply without those kinds of substitutes. I don't think it's an expensive lifestyle at all. In fact, I know it's not an expensive lifestyle and so do a lot of other people. Just requires some planning and a bit of effort and the will to do it.

I don't know why either. Maybe it's something to do with the amount of legs an animal has?   I agree with you though, although I don't spend any time being bothered by it.

i think it's cos of the red vs. white meat issue. Of why they think it's ok to eat the chicken & fish and not other meat. 

Thanks Joy. I know some of the stuff you have mentioned you can buy there. but not everything.. I have vegetables with our dinner at times.. as much as we can. love rice and beans too!:)

Maybe that's it then, Mystaria. You'll have to ask next time you meet someone who says they are veggie but eats fish & poultry. 


I want to talk about almonds and veganism next time.

Judge Calls Arguments on Rights of Chimpanzees ‘Extremely Interesting and Well Argued’

May 27, 2015 – New York, NY – At a hearing today in a New York County Supreme Court in Manhattan, the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP) argued that chimpanzees Hercules and Leo are “autonomous and self-determining beings” who should be issued an order that releases them from the laboratory where they’re being held at Stony Brook University to Save the Chimps sanctuary in Florida.
