Compassionate news from around the web…
Veg News offers this Q&A Featurette- Feast and Fowl  about vegan, writer, filmmaker, and bird lover, Mira Tweti.

“Award-winning journalist, book author, filmmaker, and vegan Mira Tweti has a lot to be thankful for this holiday season. In 2008, Tweti published two books on a topic close to her heart—parrots—and her latest film project, Little Miss Dewie: a Duckumentary, was accepted into seven prestigious film festivals.
