I made the choice to be vegan because I will not eat (or wear, or use) anything that could have an emotional response to its death or captivity.

I used to have 30 different species of tarantulas, as well as two Australian scorpions that are considered the deadliest in the world. If stung by one, a person would die in 30 minutes. But when I had kids I had to get rid of them, of course. Those were intense! ↗

Living wild species are like a library of books still unread. Our heedless destruction of them is akin to burning the library without ever having read its books. ↗

The question that will decide our destiny is not whether we shall expand into space. It is: shall we be one species or a million? A million species will not exhaust the ecological niches that are awaiting the arrival of intelligence. ↗
