Thank you Philip, I met you 2 months ago at Animal Acres. It's changed my life... forever and definitely for the better! My husband and I are now vegan, and it is one of the best decisions that I have made in my life(along with marrying my husband). I've been a vegetarian for many years and believed that was enough and I was comfortable with that because I wanted to enjoy food. I thought being a vegan was just too radical and it would mean beans,rice and wheat with little to no taste. Wow, how I've changed!!! In the back of my mind, I always felt a hypocrisy because I could justify my food choices. That's not who I want to be. I am a loving compassionate person and my food choices did not reflect that. The day I came home from the Animal Acres open house and told my husband about the beautiful sanctuary, was the day we made our decision to become vegans. The murder, torture and suffering of any animal is unacceptable, and my heart breaks with overwhelming sadness. We are educating ourselves, learning to cook delicious new recipes, shop differently...and we're having fun along the way! It feels so good and so positive to make the change. Thank you so much Philip, you truly have made a difference. Your message of love and compassion was heard...Thank you my friend. Kelly
Philip is a music producer originally from San Francisco now living in Venice(California).He is now OK with this.
He is not a writer but simply a retired drummer turned record producer so we ask that readers go easy on the literary criticism. He uses spell check when his mom is busy.
Philip is best known by his 4 rescued cats and dog Lil Chili but is also known for remixing classic hit songs from the past to help them sound modern, new or as the Hollywood execs might say "fresh!"
Philip has been an ethical vegan for 20 years.He states that his veganism is based on the opinion that he is simply not persuaded by the obviously ABSURD claim that humans must eat or use animals to enjoy life. Philip asserts that he is more persuaded by the evidence that killing animals is morally unjustifiable as animals like most humans do not wish to be killed.
Philip has known Lorri Houston founder of Animal Acres for nearly 15 years and is extremely grateful she found enough compassion in her heart(as the record industry has collapsed into a black hole of Internet dust)to let him write this blog and for allowing him the opportunity to make new friends with all the goats at Animal Acres.
