“This is my world. Join me as I climb transport trucks, and stay quietly and diligently with animals as they go to slaughter. Join me on the dusty roads and at my little hotel room editing desk, as Miguel and I discuss animals, animal photojournalism, and, ultimately, kindness.”

While Tilly may not be here to witness the lives saved by her legacy, others can. In an effort to create closure and inspire empathy, “Dear Tilly” blurs the lines between human and animal in a time where our definition of family needs to stretch far beyond our own reflection.

There’s a little–known battle in grocery stores everywhere—it’s a battle over the labels stuck to your food. With a surge of vegan products hitting the market, names like “almond milk” are frequently used to describe these products’ similarity to their non-vegan counterparts. But Miyoko Schinner was fined and asked to remove the word “butter” from her plant–based butter product by the California Department of Food & Agriculture. Why? Is this type of labeling regulation a violation of free speech, or do confusing labels pose a threat to consumers? Listen as experts discuss and debate this complex issue.

In August 2020, NowThis—the world’s largest social video news publisher—premiered Beyond Carnism’s three–minute video entitled “Golden Retriever Burgers Trending?! #CatchOnToCarnism.” Carnism is the invisible belief system that conditions people to eat certain animals. The sticky, thought–provoking video quickly went viral, clocking up views on AOL, other news sites, and social media posts by organizations and influencers. In just two weeks, the video was shared thousands of times across all platforms and garnered nearly 1 million views. Using eye–catching animations and powerful, compelling dialogue, the video exposes the psychology that drives people to eat animals by illustrating how carnism distorts our perceptions of farmed animals and the foods procured from their bodies. Drawing parallels with the movie “The Matrix,” it reveals that people view eating animals as normal, natural, and necessary as long as they are plugged into the “matrix of carnism.” Through the video, we invited viewers to be vegan allies—including by being as vegan as possible—to become a part of the solution to help transform carnism.

Freedom Farm Sanctuary/Documentary Series by Taliya Finkel for Kan Digital 6 Chapters. 8-10 minutes each At the Freedom Farm Sanctuary in Israel, ‘imperfect’ farm animals rejected from the food industry find a forever home. This optimistic, sweet, and profoundly moving documentary series follows the journey of the unique relationships formed between these adorable animals and those sanctuary volunteers (often with their own ‘imperfections’). They go above and beyond to care for them. With sensitivity, humor, and love, these stories remind us of the universal oneness between humans and animals and invite us to view the animals through the lens of individuals in society who have also been ‘othered’ in a variety of ways, and who have much to share about the real meaning of compassion and respect, and the path to healing ourselves and the world: Billy: a disabled IDF war veteran with a prosthetic leg who identifies with the disabled animals on the farm. Yanna: (a Russian immigrant who) struggles with body image issues and finds unexpected comfort with chickens from the meat industry because, like them, she feels trapped in her own body. Mantegvosh (an Ethiopian immigrant
) dedicates herself to caring for a blind goat as she frets about her hereditary vision problems. Orna was the first female bus driver in Israel, recovered from cancer, but suffers from insomnia and finds peace working night shifts as farm security. Orly is flooded by painful childhood memories as she cares for a baby goat rescued just moments before he was slaughtered as a Passover sacrifice. Ilana helps farm volunteers with mental impairments overcome fear and befriend two pigs who struggle with severe pain due to genetic modification.

His work as an open rescue activist has been reported on in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and ABC’s Nightline. Wayne published research (with Cass Sunstein) on climate change’s impact on wildlife, practiced law at two national firms, and had an active pro bono practice defending victims of domestic violence.
