Out-foxed

I think this is a joke. It has to be a joke, right?

Following a run of animal-themed pop-up cafes and events (see here, here and here), someone has set up a page announcing the launch of a fox cafe in London.

I could be wrong, but I call bullshit on this one.

I’m kinda hoping it is set up by an activist group who plan to collect email addresses and send a message to all signups, letting them know what a terrible idea it is to commodify and objectify animals.

I can only hope. Otherwise, I despair.

News of this vegan-friendly eatery in east London arrived to my inbox thanks to Miriam. She wrote to alert me to the really rather impressive and inclusive menu being offered at Fed By Water on Kingsland High Street in E8.

Miriam sent me the following photo she snapped of the vegan pizza menu. Check it out.

Pigs

Come the fuck on. Micro pig picnic? Really?

There is a new addition to what is quickly becoming a horrifying cavalcade of animal exploitation in London. There is the cat cafe, a (badly) planned owl cafe and now a picnic where people can hang out with micro pigs. This ‘trend’ needs to be halted.

Get together

I’ve just had some interesting news come through about a new regular vegan dining and socialising event in London.

I absolutely adore when people create new spaces for building social capital and find new ways for compassionate humans to connect and support each other.

That is exactly what this concept promises. Check out the press release for BEspoken Dinners below:

Make tofu

I’ve never been the best vegan I can be because I’ve never taken the time to make my own tofu.
