Volunteering at Cotton Branch Farm Animal Sanctuary

11 May 201611 May 2016Greg Fuller

I just spent 3 days volunteering at the Cotton Branch Farm Animal Sanctuary in South Carolina. When visiting Charleston, I saw a meetup posted for a volunteer workday at the sanctuary, but that day was not the best for my plans, and so I called to see if they could use me earlier.

Law Ra (Laura) answered the phone. Law Ra is German, with a slight British accent, probably from living in London so long. Like I was soon to be, she is a temporary volunteer at the sanctuary. But unlike me, she knows what she is doing when it comes to animal care. And she’s there much longer.

Vegan Cookies Downtown Charleston

3 May 201611 May 2016Greg Fuller

Resistance is lacking, so I go inside. They have a huge display case full of cookies. Fortunately for me, only two vegan cookies are left. “They are so popular, we just can’t keep them,” the lady says. Well, make more of the vegan ones and less of the others.

101 Sublime Reasons to Go Vegan

24 April 201611 May 2016Greg Fuller

I saw James Wildman’s presentation “101 Reasons to Go Vegan” on youtube a couple of years ago. It’s a powerful presentation which starts with a bit about The Matrix Movie.

I had a change to see James give the presentation live, and share a meal at the Sublime vegan restaurant in the Miami / Fort Lauderdale area with some friends after the presentation, so I took it.

I was visiting with Alex and Natalia, and they prepared this delicious breakfast featuring Vegan Egg from Follow Your Heart. You can get it on Amazon and some grocery stores. It is amazing.

Vegan Soul Food in Englewood

5 November 201511 May 2016Greg Fuller

Today I joined my good friend Debbie for a late lunch at what’s got to be one of the best vegan joints in the whole wide world. The place is called “Stuff I Eat” and it’s in Englewood. The owner Babette is as delightful as the food here. We had the Soul Food Platter (yams with coconut, potato salad, coleslaw, vegan mac and cheese, and barbecue tofu), the Croquette Plate (carrot croquette with polenta cakes, carrot gravy, spinach, and salad with avocado) served with buckwheat and corn muffin, black-eyed peas, kale greens, and pozole soup. I’ll be fasting tomorrow.

Angel Hanz and Food Not Bombs

2 November 201511 May 2016Greg Fuller

After staying in the Bay Area for a while, I headed to Santa Monica and have been living close to the beaches. I had the joy of helping Angel Hanz for the Homeless and Food Not Bombs. For a few moments, I was the personal assistant to the famous Dr. Armaiti May, the Vegan Vet. She attends to the pets of the homeless.

I finally got to meet Yuri , and I helped with leafleting on a most interesting street corner at Lincoln Rd & Meridian on South Beach. It’s a joint effort by Vegan Outreach, Compassion Over Killing, and Mercy for Animals, with some dedicated friends, Linda Cozat and Jennifer Mennuti.

Sea Shepherd Dolphin Protest in Miami

14 February 201519 April 2015Greg Fuller

Yesterday I attended the “World Love for Dolphins Day” protest in downtown Miami organized by Sea Shepherd. This event is to protest the Taiji Dolphin hunt in Japan, where thousands dolphins and whales are captured to be sold into captivity or slaughtered by pithing, which leaves the still conscious animals paralyzed and often drowning in the blood of their own family members.
