Drag to set position!
Non-violent discussion/debate is welcome here, but I do not welcome personal attacks and teasing on my photostream! You can disagree, but please be civil about it!

Hi! I'm in my 40's and live in Alberta, Canada. I'm good with any pronouns. I love photography, drawing, painting, crafts, computers, video games, nature, camping, paddleboarding, swimming, music, anime, reading, and vegan cooking/baking. I believe in and promote respect for all sentient beings.
I have two partners (polyamorous household) and a son, and I also care for 2 adopted/rescued nonhuman family members in our home: Neneko (chinchilla) and Rogue (cat). I take a lot of photos of all of my family, as well as friends, other animals, nature, urban life, vegan food, activism, events, and more. :)

No, I am not a PETA member. I get accused of this a lot. I am actually against PETA for many reasons. I am an abolitionist. I believe in animal rights and am against speciesism.

Mel Mel wrote the following comment about my shot of a chicken (head and all) on a cutting board: She was once someone who experienced life and valued it. No one knows who she was, only what she tasted like... This is such a sad image... It was not my chicken, but I found Mel Mel's poetic ode to the chicken beautiful… Read more

She writes as well as she shoots.
Read lessAlthough I am not a vegan, I admire and respect Mel Mel for her courage of conviction. I also find her photostream most interesting, entertaining and sometimes educational. Thanks for allowing me and my wife a glimpse into your world, Mel Mel. And thanks for your Flickr friendship.
vegan butterfly, to sum it all up I love you! :D
Vegan here has always great photos of exquisite Veg dishes and always brings out opinion in her photos. She obviously stands strong on all animal rights, and it is a great thing to see. She is a very open and friendly person.
Thank you for adding me as a contact! I just had to put one of these in here! Your sets on Cruelty-Free Foods definitely show off that Vegans don't just live off of nothing but beans! That food shows that Vegans can still stuff their faces with delicious healthy food and not look pale and unhealthy!
Thanks for adding me as a contact! Veg*anism is our next evolutionary step as a species, and it's people like us who are pushing for that evolution. I mean, what could be better than saving 95 lives per year simply by eating badass food that doesn't rot inside you? Nothing!
What can I say. I just love this girl and her knowledge about veganism and animals rights is beyond this world lol Thank you my sweet butterfly
Thanks for adding me, Vegan Butterfly! It's nice to see so many vegans on Flickr. We're slowly taking over! ;)

Thanks for the add vegan butterfly! Earthlings is an amazing movie that changed my life. FYI: the entire movie is veiwable on google movies. However, I strongly encourage everyone to buy a copy. The director is hoping to sell enough copies to fund getting it translated into more languages and can only do that if we buy it and show support. www.isawearthling... ~namaste.
