Belgian Eva Magazine features photos from We Animals




click to enlarge
There`s an excellent veggie magazine in Belgium called Eva. This past month`s issue features the amazing work of Gene Baur, Co-Founder of Farm Sanctuary. I had the good fortune of meeting one of the women who works for the magazine, Melanie Jaecques, while she was interning at Farm Sanctuary. She will soon be producing an article about factory farmed meat which will also be published in Belgium, accompanied by some of my factory farming images which were shot in late 2009. I`ll be posting a gallery on factory farming shortly.

Edgar's Mission Farm Sanctuary, Australia




click to enlarge
At the entrance to this idyllic farm animal sanctuary in Australia, one reads the words "If we could live happy and healthy lives without harming others...why wouldn't we?"

I love the statement for its simplicity.

It's an easy enough concept with an equally easy answer. Where animals are concerned, we can chose not to eat them. The owner of Edgar's Mission Farm Sanctuary is Pam Ahern, whose aim is to rescue animals as well as educate people about vegetarianism. Pam's sanctuary is a bright light, a haven from the hellish darkness of factory farming.

In this photo, Pam gives her first rescue, Edgar, some TLC.

Tuna Fishing. Mauritius, 2009.

While I was in Mauritius last December, it was strange having our incognito Sea Shepherd boat constantly surrounded by commercial fishing vessels, many from Japan.
In this photograph, a Japanese tuna fishing vessel unloads 400 frozen tuna from its boat into trucks destined for I'm not sure where.
