Meat: A Conversation Between an Animal Activist and a Hunter

What does an animal activist have in common with a hunter? Turns out, more than you think.

Our Nutty Adventure – Part I

Greetings from Bremerton, Washington, about an hour west by ferry across the Puget Sound from Seattle.  I am starting day 4 of the 25-day Northwest road trip.

For this road trip we didn’t plan any specific itinerary or book any hotels.  This may seem an odd way of vacationing especially given that I am the kind of person who have always craved structure and predictability.… Continue reading →
