Halloween is the best holiday ever—am I right?! It’s full of spooky costumes, autumn leaves, and tons of candy (vegan chocolate, anyone?!), and I wait anxiously for it every year. This year, I’m thinking that I will get creative instead of defaulting to my good ol’ Eric Draven makeup, so I’ve come up with a top five list of the best animal rights–themed costumes—thanks to PETA staffers and Street Teamers from last year who stepped up their game! Take a look:
5. Tofu: Yep, tofu—who doesn’t love it?!
4. Evil Ronald: Yeaaaah, is an explanation really necessary here? I mean, c’mon. Ronald McDonald is pretty much the essence of evil … and who isn’t afraid of clowns?!
3. Mad scientist: Poisoning monkeys, chopping apart live dogs, implanting electrodes into animals’ brains … pretty nutso, right?
2. Zombie (aka Flesh-Eater!): Because chomping into someone else’s flesh, bone, muscle, and skin is just downright creepy.
1. Factory-Farming Victim: Life on a factory farm and death in a slaughterhouse are nightmares … but it happens to millions of animals every single day. Give your friends something to think about.
Pretty spooky, right? What are YOU going to be for Halloween this year?

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.)
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.
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.

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 :)
