Vegans Love Pitbulls!

July 27, 2015 by Jillian Leave a Comment

Last month there were so many animal events going on in Austin that I could barely keep my head on straight! There were also a lot of vegan events, so as you can imagine, I felt like a kid on Christmas – if Christmas was in June and lasted the entire month.ย ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ„

Since I’m really busy this week working on a film job, I thought I would just post some of my favorite pictures from a couple of those events. Scroll down to see cute pitties, delicious vegan food, and some of the fun happenings that make Austin such a cool city.

Weekly Reunion Rescue @ Spiderhouse

Reunion Rescue is a local pitbull rescue group and founder Cindy sets up camp at a popular coffeehouse near the University of Texas to educate people, get donations to help the dogs, and most importantly, get them adopted! On the particular day that I showed up, there were 3 adorable pitbulls with Cindy, all looking for their forever homes.

Meet Amber and her cute nose:

As you can see above, Amber was an abuse case and most likely had acid or something similar poured over her head. Yet when I met her, she was as sweet as could be and loves children!

And this is Vinny, he’s blind and precious.

3rd Friday @ Unity Vegan Kitchen

This was an event hosted by another local pitbull rescue group called Love-A-Bull. Their mission is to promote responsible guardianship and improve the image and lives of pit bull type dogs through community support, education, advocacy, & rescue. They have tons of adorable pitties looking for loving homes. 3rd Friday is one of their regular events and this one happened to take place at a vegan food trailer near downtown Austin.

That evening’s highlights included local vendors selling handcrafted items, a raffle drawing with cool prizes, and a pitbull kissing booth. When I arrived, Petey (the white dog pictured at the top of this post) was the lucky pooch getting to kiss all the ladies, and he did a very good job! ๐Ÿ’‹

The Mobile Library showed up for a bit and there was also live music.

And of course, there was yummy vegan food courtesy of Unity Vegan Kitchen. Their special that evening was BBQ! Can you guess what the “meat” is made from?

It’s jackfruit! The potato salad and coleslaw were delish too.

Vegan Pizza Day

While we’re on the topic of food, I have to tell you about Capital City Bakery’s annual Vegan Pizza Day. I had never been before so I knew I needed to stop by. They’re normally known for their cupcakes, so naturally, I had to try that as well. They were almost sold out by the time I got there. All the flavors looked truly good, but I went with the PB&J Cupcake and a Pizza Roll. My goodness I was not disappointed! ๐Ÿ•

These are just 3 of the many events I attended in June. I love that Austin has so many great things going on that bring the rescue communities together with the vegan community. They complement each other very well and both groups can support and learn from one another. Can’t wait to see what other activities are in store for ATX!

In the past week I made 2 deeeelicious lentil soup In the past week I made 2 deeeelicious lentil soups. The first is green lentils with potato and mushroom. The second is Greek Red Lentil soup that tastes like a gourmet tomato soup ๐Ÿ… and also has carrot, rosemary, lemon, and a hint of cumin. Both soups have kale because that makes them ๐Ÿ’ฏ% better.

One of the things that has interested me about the One of the things that has interested me about the horrific scene at the Capitol yesterday is the connection between veganism and colonialism. Some of the mob members yesterday were proudly covered in the skins of dead animals. To me, it's no surprise that white male supremacists are speceiests at their core. They believe they are inherently superior. They have historically compared people of color to animals, and treated them as sadistcally as they treat animals. In America, the government orchestrated the slaughtering of 60 million buffalo for no other reason than as a way to starve Indians into submission. Among other things, white supremacy and colonialism is linked to an obsession with killing, hunting, and dominating over others. So here are some bomb homemade VEGAN Butterfinger I made yesterday. Free of cruelty and made from plants. I'm not just vegan for the animals, I'm vegan for people because it is all connected.

Adventures in vegan & gluten free pizza making! ๐Ÿ• The first pizza has homemade alfredo sauce (from cashews), mozzarella, chicken, mushroom, kalamata olive, kale, and shallot. The second one has tomato sauce, cheddar cheese, Beyond sausage, onion, broccoli, and mushroom. Both are topped with vegan ricotta.

Last night I was in bed and realized I hadn't seen Last night I was in bed and realized I hadn't seen Pixie in a while. I got up to look for her and she was nowhere to be found. I kept calling her and looked in every nook and cranny of my house. I thought something terrible happened to her. Then I noticed a pillow moving. She was sleeping inside the pillowcase next to me the whole time. I didn't even know she could climb onto the bed by herself ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
