Everyone's a forking nutritionist. Have you heard that soy raises estrogen levels?!?!?!

anything cute and furry needs to be my friend/pet.

any wild animal that comes into my yard becomes an "outside pet"

ive collected a turkey, a toad, and some shrews plus all the birds/squirrels/chipmunks.

i want them all to be my friends.

i am definitely one of "those" vegans/animal lovers ;-)

Are we TWINS!!!??? :D

I am always asking for a basket of kittens or bunnies or quokkas. I eternally await this basket!

Can we be triplets and I'll take a basket of puppies. Yummy puppies!

Oh wait, I guess a puppy basket isn't like a muffin basket. Awkward!

Can I join in the fun? I'll bring a basket of ducklings.

strange sight! :-)

Can we share baskets? Because I would also like access to the bunny basket and the peeeeg basket and the baby moose basket. And the squirrel basket.

SQUEEEEE!

My super epic oral fixation makes me want to put animals in my mouth. Not in an rating way - in a love biting way. My animal rescue friends totally understand why I comment with stuff like "NOM I NEED HIM IN MY MOUTH!!!"

I am constantly putting my cats' ears in my mouth.

haha! Me too!
She loves it!

Cat ears are delicious.

Last night was our big company party, at a fancy-pants country club.

Everyone was feasting on delicious food.

I got a salad with no dressing and a giant piece of grilled cauliflower. Now, I have a hangover since I didn't eat. Blah.

Me. I don't think it's cute or sweet. I just think its a living thing and I don't choose to eat living things.

It's not really a peeve but it does surprise me that people think I'm an animal lover just because I'm vegan, because I'm really not. I don't even look at kittens on the Internet.

I've actually had people ask me, "If you hate animals so much, then why don't you want to eat them?"

My usual response to this nonsense is, "Well, I don't particularly like you, but that doesn't mean that I want to eat you."

I WOULD ALSO LIKE IN ON THIS BASKET SCENARIO!

Ok so there's a bunny basket, a kitty basket, a peeeeg basket, a squirrel basket, baby moose basket, puppy basket, ducky basket.

I'm going to buy stock in wicker.

I think we also need a red panda basket, a piglet basket, an otter basket, and maybe one full of those dwarf hamsters.

my basket is overflowing with chinchillas. SO SOFT. i also have a pile of pygmy marmosets and a box of eight-week-old french bulldog puppies, but i'm not sticking my face in there, because that would be crazy.

There is no possible way I could eat that. Too adorable. That's like this thing I saw on Pinterest earlier that was, like, a cake shaped like a turtle and covered in kiwi slices and it looked JUST like a turtle and...no. I cannot eat food that looks like animals. I am super weird about it.

But I do want to look at those panda sushis for the rest of my day.

They are almost too cute to be allowed.

I saw the kiwi turtle, it was so well done but mostly just reminded me that kiwis make my mouth and throat burn like crazy.

Also, platypus basket added to list. No spiny echidna baskets though, since we ought not be jamming our faces in baskets of pointy.

Not a basket, but here is a bucket of sloths.

I have 2 doves outside my window. I don't even like birds but they seem pretty cool.

People that assume because your vegan, you love mushrooms. I don't like mushrooms!

rhelune · **Posted:** Thu Feb 14, 2013 4:59 pm

Those who claim that vegans don't eat mushrooms because "mushrooms are not plants" or "mushrooms are saprophytes, ewww!".
