Dr. Will Tuttle on Earthlings

EarthlingsTeam

Last month at the Animal Rights Conference in Los Angeles, we caught up with Author Will Tuttle (The World Peace Diet), who spoke with us about his work and his feelings about Earthlings.

"What Earthlingsdoes, the great gift it gives our culture, is that it makes us aware of what's behind the curtain of our denial. It may be painful, we may be resistant, we may not want to see it, we don’t want to know, but once we do, then we have the power to transform our [...]

SB 250 will dramatically increase the number of pets who are spayed and neutered, thus reducing shelter overpopulatio [...]
