I'm trying to bring attention to animal suffering under human rule in my own way - a funny-animals webcomic. It's called The Amazing Imaginings of Bubs and Baxter, and it's about two people-hating pound-pets who escape the grim reality of their caged lives using their imaginations.

You can read it here:

The latest strip ( www.bubsandbaxter.com/strips/010.html ) might seem to suggest that I think Earth can only be at peace without humans, but I actually believe the way forward is through a Western vegan nation that can set an example and show the world how much sense veganism makes as a cure to suffering, disease and hunger. Not to mention the war against nature that our species seems to have declared.

If we would just use all the land allocated to the cattle industry to grow fruit and veg, no one in the world would need go hungry. The meat lobby has changed the world so much in just a few decades and an entire generation has been raised in a way that only suits the bottom lines of multinational corporations. But of course, you knew that already. :(

I'm a raw vegan living in Cyprus, a country that sadly likely has the worst animal suffering record in the West. Dogs are locked in cages in fields for 11 months of the year, endangered migratory birds are trapped with lime sticks and nets (I have photos if you're feeling especially morbid) and then sold as a delicacy in restaurants, wildlife and pets are routinely poisoned with lanite-laced meat thrown into gardens and left in bins and fields, and every other man in the country has a hunting license, meaning nothing is left alive once hunting season closes at the end of the year.
