    When I learned about factory farming, I became a vegetarian (no animal flesh). Within a few months, I became vegan. Now I consume and wear no animal products (no wool, silk, leather, etc.). To the extent I can, I avoid purchasing anything that came from animal sources. This is purely an ethical stance. I do not want to contribute to animal suffering. I want congruence between my life and my message as an animal advocate. I feel healthy and energetic and I am constantly inspired to help others of all species.

    Okay, I do know there has been hatred of Jews since there have been Jews. I don’t believe I have been persecuted in any way, at least not that I’ve noticed. I’m a non-practicing, non-religious Jew. I don’t self-identify with the religion, though I do self-identify as Jew when discussing ethnicity and culture. I’m not even sure what that means except I often feel a uniquely textured kinship with other Jews and for no other reason than our Jewishness. I am married to a non-religious non-Jew. I feel more kinship with him than with any Jews!
