Over the weekend, I visited one of the coolest places on the planet: Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary in Poolesville, Maryland. While I was there, I was able to spend lots of time with the adorable sheep, goats, chickens, turkeys, pigs, cows, and horses who call Poplar Spring home, and just in case you can’t tell from the pictures below, the cuteness level of these animals is out of control:
Being in the presence of these awesome and heartbreakingly adorable animals was such a humbling experience, and it reminded me of why I first made the decision to go vegan years ago: because animals are not ours to eat or to abuse in any way.
Now tell me, how cute are these animals?!
peta2 Street Team Coordinator + lover of vegan food, cats, animal rights, Dawson's Creek, and Harry Potter.
Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Jersey girl now I'm all country.
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!

I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
