Richard Miron’s documentary For the Birds focuses on a woman who loves her numerous poultry pets but can’t adequately care for them. We then meet Rachel Borkowski of AnimalConnection.info, which takes groups to farm animal sanctuaries.

Animal Connection strives for one unifying and simple goal: connect people to animals. We believe to our core that introducing people to animals at sanctuaries, environments founded on love and compassion, we can cultivate a world where animals and people live side-by-side. We want to cut through the paradigm that separates human and non-human animals and emphasize our similarities as intelligent and love-driven creatures.

Blast from the past! ~ The woman in Miron’s film, For the Birds, became infatuated with chickens, turkeys, and geese to the point of becoming an animal hoarder. In this episode from 2013, my guest was a woman who has devoted her life to providing sanctuary to birds such as these, and to getting their plight known in the world.  She is Karen Davis, PhD, founder and director of United Poultry Concerns. Here’s the link to that episode on Unity Online Radio.

A shoutout to our sponsor, Complement. Developed by vegan dietitian Dr. Pamela Fergusson, and the NoMeat Athlete, Matt Frazier, Complement enables you to get your vitamin B12, vitamin D3, and the essential Omega 3 fatty acids (DHA & EPA) in a totally vegan form that you just spray into your mouth once a day and know that your already great diet now has the full complement of essential nutrients. Click here for more info and to order. Use the code MAINSTREETVEGAN for a 10% discount.

And now the good folks of Complement have a new product: Complement Plus. While everyone agrees that B12, vitamin D3, and the essential Omega 3 fatty acids are nutrients people eating plant-based diets (and a lot of other people besides) should not overlook, there are some other nutrients that it’s also easy to be short on, even with a well-chosen diet. To tackle this, Fergusson and Frazier joined forces with Joel Kahn, MD, and together developed Complement Plus, a supplement in tablet form that includes all the nutrients in Complement spray, along with zinc, iodine, selenium, and vitamin K2. Essential for blood clotting, healthy bones, and heart health, the only plant-food source of vitamin K2 is natto, an obscure, fermented soy food and one that is definitely an acquired taste (and smell). To get Complement Plus at a discount, simply go to www.alpineorganics.co (where you can order regular Complement, as well), but this time your discount code will be MAINSTREETVEGAN+.
