The semi-vegan!

Issue #2

The veganguide toironing!

This pdf gives an idea of what is inthe issue. If it temps you to want toread it, see order info on page 30.

(Norwegians, see info on page 29.)

I need advice, please!

I can understand why you turn to me for advice. Mymain concern are your sheep. While the hens mighthave a large enough space to roam around in, butthe sheep will have a feeling of being�landlocked�. Given a choice many sheep andespecially young lams would prefer life to death.Maybe it is time for you to move on, and set thesheep free? You can produce a massive amount ofveg on the land the sheep previously used. (If youwish to farm vegan organically you must firstremove all the sheep manure.)

I am NOT �semi�!

Your letter made me cry myself to sleep. I can onlydo my best, but if my best is not good enough, whatis? I will look up �Motorcycle� magazine to see ifthey print info on cars, but how it relates to me I ammore unsure about, as I do not like motorcycles. ButI am willing to take a short term interest in it.

Short letter!

I do hope you get round to writing something. Somany people would love to read your views, but Ifully understand if you do not have time to dot themdown.

Letters

I was going to give this issue away for free, but the cost is to high.While the last issue cost 32p to print per copy, this one cost £1.62! Itactually cost more to print this issue than the Vegan Views book withover 200 pages! Weird!

Text: Knut Caspari

So I have decided to be sensible. I will sell subscriptions and thenonce in a while I will publish a big book, which will be sold cheaplyor given away for free. It will look like the Vegan Views book I

published and contain the best articles from this magazine and maybeother articles that come my way.

The relationship between animals and law is acycle of cruelty caused and controlled by andfor man. Where man�s benefit is balancedagainst a beast�s burden, the human animalusually wins. Even such limited legal rights asanimals have are subject to human interests.

Cohousing in Britain

We also gave some room on the stall to Knut, theex-editor of the ever popular Vegan Viewsmagazine for his new project. Now bear in mindKnut comes from Norway, but he named his newmagazine �The semi-vegan�! Now before yousend an email off to me complaining, it�s himthat named it & yes it is awful! The magazineitself follows a similar format to Vegan Views,but one article did have honey in it (as oneperson said � �Why not use golden syrup?�).

I think you, being much brighter than Knut,

should be able to come up with a better namethan �The semi-vegan!�, so I�ll set you achallenge! Send Knut a new magazine name [email protected] with the subject title�A better name for your magazine� & if he picksthat name you will win a DVD I will send you &any other goodies we can find. This is open toanyone in any country, help out poor old Knut,get his magazine a decent title.

So what are you waiting for, get your thinkingcaps on & win some goodies!

This interesting Chinook kept circling and seemed to be doing mocklandings. Either they wanted to borrow my ironing gear and have a gothemselves, or were practicing for mountain rescues.

Whilst waiting, and waiting� for someone(anyone!) to come and help take photos, Iadmired these mountain sheep across thevalley. They are the ultimate climbers, leavinghumans for dead. I watched one fearlesslytraverse the face of an almost-cliff to reach asmall grassy ledge where it continued to graze.

Finally, after a freezing half hour waiting, anentire group of about 15 undergrad guysappeared. They took some pics for me, and thenall had a go themselves! They loved it, as dideveryone I met! Some of them had never evenironed before!!

I am more concerned with �liberating� myselfthan with �liberating� animals (not that this isn�tworthwhile) and I believe that such a generalliberation of people is a necessary conditionbefore all the worthwhile causes such asveganism become redundant.

A view of liberation

Many people are now looking for freer,simpler ways of life, which can be enjoyed ona very moderate income, and so release themfrom the rat race.

Auto-nomadic way of life

PacifismThis is a subject I have always felt Ishould know more about. Whenconfronted with war all thinking peoplemust realise its horror and futility. Yet,understandably, no one wishes to giveaway his possessions to any ruffian whothrows his weight about.
