The August Peaceable Table is now online

[Gracia Fay Ellwood]

Dear Animal Kin,

In this issue of The Peaceable Table

* The Guest Editorial by psychologist Rachel MacNair explores the
likelihood that slaughterhouse workers and others who kill animals may
suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

* One of the Gems, a quotation from The Threepenny Opera, comments on
the bad behavior that results when folk do not get their familiar
food.

* In his Letter, Gerald Niles reflects on his experience with our
predecessor The Friendly Vegetarian and some of its staff members.

* The Glimpse of the Peaceable Kingdom shows us a blind dog and her
devoted seeing-eye cat.

* In one of the NewsNotes we hear that of all countries, Spain--
infamous for its bullfights--is granting rights to Great Apes.

* Every Creature a Word of God, an inspiring book by two remarkable
scholars/activists, is one of those reviewed.

* The Recipes includes a frozen berry-cream treat for canine friends
that may tempt any nearby human to take a lick.

* In My Pilgrimage we hear from musician Moby, who has been vegan
since his teens.

* Our Pioneer is Alex Hershaft, survivor of the Warsaw Ghetto and
founder of the abolitionist organization FARM.

* The narrator of the Poem, "Nostalgia," (by Joan Gilbert) ponders
the mystery that she has nostalgia for things she never knew, things
experienced by animals.

We hope you will take a little time to reply to any of these
materials, perhaps suggest topics for future issues, or write your own
Pilgrimage account.
