Marceline the Vampire Queen

(Oh, Marceline, why are you so mean?)

I’m not mean, I’m a thousand years old, and I just lost track of my moral code.

It made me wonder how many times we forgive just because we don’t want to lose someone, even if they don’t deserve our forgiveness.

Guys, we seriously need to signal boost the crap out of this purely because every vegan needs to know about it. falafelforlife just introduced me to the amazing Premium Chocolatiers! It’s basically a site dedicated to creating chocolate that tastes exactly like dairy chocolate. It’s all vegan, all gluten free and most items are nut free too! It makes seasonal chocolate so there’s loads on there for every occasion.   So click here right now to shop until you break your bank!

The great bear rainforest in British Columbia is one of the largest coastal temperate rain forests in the world, with twenty five thousand square miles of mist shrouded fjords and densely forested islands that are home to white furred black bears.

Neither albino nor polar bear, these rare black bears (there are fewer than five hundred) are known as kermode bears, or what the gitga’at first nation call mooksgm’ol, the spirit bear — a word they did not speak to european fur traders lest the bears be discovered and hunted. to this day, it remains taboo to hunt a spirit bear, or to mention them to outsiders.

The white fur in these bears is triggered by a recessive mutation of the same gene associated with red hair and fair skin in humans. though it remains unclear as to how the trait arose (or disappeared), it is especially pronounced on certain islands.

If, as I believe, animals feel pain, humiliation, sorrow and all the other emotions, these feelings cannot be ignored in our behavior toward them. A bear is not going to compose Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, but then neither is our next door neighbor. We do not for this reason conclude that we have the freedom to experiment upon him, hunt him for sport, or eat him for food. … Jeremy Bentham in 1789 connected sentient feelings with rights this way: ‘A full grown horse or dog is beyond comparison a more rational, as well as a more conversable animal, than an infant of a day, or a week, or even a month old. But suppose the case were otherwise, what would it avail? The question is not, Can they reason? nor, Can they talk? but, Can they suffer?’
