3. The June Peaceable Table Is Now Online
Contents include:
- Judy Carman's Editor's Corner Guest Essay, comparing our thoughts to
dandelion seeds, encourages us to acknowledge the terrible pain of the
animals, but affirm and emphasize thoughts of hope and of a renewed and
compassionate world.
- In one of the NewsNotes, John Muir, founder of the Sierra Club,
envisions a world in which truly humane people put their fellow animals
into their hearts rather than into their dinners.
- H. Jay Dinshah, near-lifelong advocate for animals and founder in
1960 of the American Vegan Society, is the June Pioneer,
Gerald Niles comments in the Letter column that it's hard to understand
how someone could be an environmental activist without also being an
animal activist.
- Do you like the tangy-sweet taste of lemon curd? If so, you
will want to indulge yourself with Ahimsa Lemon Curd featured as one of
the two June Recipes.
- Benjamin Urrutia reviews Carl Hiaasen's new novel for teens,
Skink:No Surrender, dealing with ecological threats and animal
protection in the Everglades by an eco-avenger who calls himself Skink
and his new teenaged sidekick Richard. They have exciting adventures as
they track down a vicious poacher and look for Richard's missing cousin
Malley.
