Amazon currently has my most recent book on sale for 30% off. Pick up a print copy of “Eco-Spirituality and Human–Animal Relationships” for about the cost of a vegan latte! www.amazon.com/Earth-Spirit...

I love that this book is reaching readers and rabbit enthusiasts around the world. If you live in the Netherlands, enjoy reading about rabbits, and would like to support a wonderful store, Bunnyflop Konijnen Webshop (BunnyFlop.nl) now carries “The Way of the Rabbit”! www.bunnyflop.nl/nl/product/t...

February is Adopt a Rescued Rabbit Month. Animal shelters and rabbit rescues have rabbits of all ages and personalities just waiting to be adopted. Now is the perfect time to learn more about rabbits to discover if they would be a good fit for your family.

I’m so excited that Alice in Bunderland, a wonderful store for rabbit lovers, is now carrying “The Way of the Rabbit”! Check it out at aliceinbunderland.com/product/the-...

Fur farming is banned in the UK, but importing fur props up cruelty abroad. Animals suffer in cages, gassed or electrocuted for profit. Let’s close this loophole and end the UK’s role in the fur trade. Sign the petition and reject this injustice 👇 petition.parliament....

Thanks to everyone who will be celebrating Christmas with a vegan meal tomorrow. We have so many delicious, nutritious, and satisfying plant-based foods available—there’s no excuse not to go vegan. It’s better for you, better for the planet, and certainly better for the animals!

Kudos to the producers of #ThatChristmas for including a powerful message about not eating animals—and for giving the turkeys featured in this film a very happy ending. I’m sure it will inspire a lot of family discussions about compassion.

In “Eco-Spirituality and Human–Animal Relationships,” I explore our multilayered relationship with animals used for food, research, entertainment, and labor and animals we admire and form mutually beneficial bonds with. ow.ly/m9l950Jmj1k

Today is publication day for the 35th anniversary edition of "The Sexual Politics of Meat." It's got a new subtitle: "A Feminist-Vegan Critical Theory." Kim Stallwood asked me a few questions about the process of getting to today. kimstallwood.substack.com/p/the-sexual...

Planning to go vegan for #Veganuary? "A Vegan Ethic" is filled with advice for making veganism not a diet, but a lifestyle. (And the Kindle edition is about the price of a soy latte!) markhawthorne.com/project/a-ve...

Thank you, New Zealand. Here's hoping the other countries where this cruel "sport" is legal--including the U.S., Ireland, Britain, and Australia--will get on the ban wagon soon. www.nbcnews.com/news/world/n...

Maybe you mistakenly ate something that contained honey, or you forgot to check a label, or you devoured some French fries that you later learned were cooked in animal fat. It’s OK. Hard as we try, there is no such thing as being 100% #vegan. markhawthorne.com/project/a-ve...

Why would anyone be surprised that an animal would want to run for his life? A sad ending for someone who should have gone to a sanctuary. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

I am proud to have written five books on veganism, animals, animal rights, and social justice. markhawthorne.com

On or about this night in 2019, activists in Belgium rescued 100 rabbits from the largest breeding farm in the Benelux and brought them to safe homes.

Remembering author, social critic, cat lover, and anti-vivisectionist Mark Twain, born on this day in 1835.

We have so many delicious and nutritious plant foods to eat. Please make the compassionate choice this #Thanksgiving. Please choose #vegan.

On this day in 1865, "Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll was published, thus introducing two of literature’s most enduring lagomorphs: the White Rabbit and the March Hare.

Because commercially raised turkeys cannot mate naturally, they are artificially inseminated. The industry calls this practice “breaking the hens,” and it is just as violent as the term implies. There are so many ways to eat vegan this #Thanksgiving. Please choose compassion.

“I could never be vegan,” I used to say. Meeting animals rescued from animal agriculture, including these friendly turkeys, helped show me how wrong I had been.

There will come a day when we all regard the intelligence and compassion of nonhuman animals as universally self-evident. For now, those of us who know animals can smile at this thoughtful turkey, who is making sure that everyone in his flock gets safely across a busy road in New Hampshire.

So pleased to share my latest op-ed, which focuses on turkeys. #Thanksgiving markhawthorne.com/wp-content/u...

If it’s too cold for you, it’s too cold for your companion animals. Please bring them inside with the rest of your family.

Despite the unfair myths about them, turkeys are intelligent, curious, and affectionate animals. Please don't eat them.

Welcome news from Belgium. The Flemish government is set to eliminate cetacean captivity, incl. a ban on breeding & imports. 🐬 nos.nl/l/2544833

As word comes from the Edinburgh Zoo that a red panda baby named Roxie has died from stress after city fireworks, I'm sharing here a piece I wrote earlier this year for Anthropology News called Ten Things About Human Silence Around Animals. 🧪🌿 #anthropology #animals #naturewriting
