Discovery of Patrick McDonnell

I just happened to glance down and see this quote from MLK:  "The time is always right to do what is right," showing the Mutts and cook going to a restaurant that's been transformed to vegan.

I looked up the cartoonist Patrick McDonnell and found out he's been vegan since 2012.  

https://mutts.com/2020/06/12/a-note-from-patrick-june-2020/  Here's what he says:

As a vegetarian for over 30 years and a vegan since 2012, I’ve always felt a little strange drawing the cheeses and salamis that hang over Butchie’s head. I’m feeling better because they will now be plant-based and cruelty-free.

With the pandemic, and understanding the cruelties of raising and processing “meat,” it’s more important than ever to rethink how we treat the animals — and people — on this planet. Going plant-based is a win-win. It’s good for your own health, the health of the planet, and obviously the billions of suffering, factory farmed animals.

Going veggie gets easier and easier. (Millions have already discovered new, delicious meat substitutes.) I ask everyone to do what you can. Even observing Meatless Mondays can save a billion animals each year in the United States alone. If Butchie can do it, so can you.
