Humans are without question the dumbest animals on the planet.
White text on a black background presents a quote by Mike Anderson criticising human behaviour around animal agriculture. It states that billions of wild animals are killed to protect the animals humans eat, and that environmental destruction and resource waste are used to feed these animals rather than hungry people. The quote highlights the irony that animals are raised at great expense only to be eaten, contributing to human diseases. It concludes that humans are "without question the dumbest animals on the planet" when it comes to eating.

Been really busy since returning from our holiday, below is just a small selection of what we’ve been doing. Also working on new figures and plaques but not ready yet. I’ve also got upset with corpse eaters for not having empathy so just be kind especially to animals and I’ll calm down, nuff sed

Lovely 4 mile stroll around Truro, St clements and Malpas. Much quieter out of season but still couldn’t get any food at the Heron inn never mind back home for coffee and cake. #cornwall #truro

Cheers from west bay, away for a few days to check out the Dorset ooser but it would be Sacralidge to not enjoy the local food and drink. Where ever you are have fun and just enjoy life

Well I must have upset the kiln gods somehow, the latest items born from the kiln today included 3 completely broken and glaze missing on another. Think It’s time for a coffee while I scratch my head in confusion. It’s a wonderful day, okay a bit rainy but have fun and be kind to all. #handmade

Hello all hope you’re well, it’s been a very very busy day making clay my concentration has now lapsed so it’s off out soon to pick sloes for our Christmas gin. We’ve got to pop in and get some bits for my birthday tomorrow so wherever you are be kind as animals like us want life so don’t eat them.

It’s been a very busy week so far, below are precious things born from the kiln today and the kiln is on and full again with another 2 kiln loads ready to fire. Might have to have a pint after a walk later to relax. I hope you’re all having a wonderful day and feeling happy. #ceramics #handmade

Lovely little stroll around Botallack mines with gorgeous views and just the right heat. Luckily we popped into St Just and Lafrowda festival was in full swing so had a pasty and a pint in the sun listening to some Cornish singing. #cornwall #stjust

Busy day printed 28 t-shirts and made loads of stickers so quite a hot room so it’s so nice to have a calming and cooling walk under trees at Golitha Falls which was very beautiful in the evening light. #cornwall #golithafalls

It was 48 degrees in the work room yesterday but still managed to glaze some things but couldn’t make anything as the clay was drying as it was being used so we’ll have to stop for a while till the heat calms down. #handmade

Nice stroll around Hawkers cove, the sea was way way out and loads of different jellyfish washed up. You just can’t beat a walk on the beach to put life in perspective and calm the soul. Be happy and kind to all especially yourself. #cornwall #hawkerscove #padstow

Solstice blessings to you all, had a little 5 mile mooch around Trelissick today before it got too hot for Hattie. Now making focaccia for a picky tea later. Have a good day and remember to be kind to all living things on this beautiful day. #trelissick#cornwall

We’ve been really busy today in the kiln room making plaques,figurines and loading for firing so a little 3 mile mooch around the lanes and trackways near our home. Hedges are getting overgrown but they can’t be cut till the nesting season is over as many blackbirds are there at present. #cornwall

Nice little 5 mile walk after work from Padstow to Hawkers cove lovely when we started then got caught in a heavy shower but the scenery and rainbow made it worth the soaking. Hattie enjoyed it, loads of zoomies, this is our gotta day, 2years since she blessed our lives with her presence. #padstow

Nice little 4.5 mile stroll over Newquay and fistral beach now the mother in law has gone home. Town was busy as usual but just out of town holiday makers don’t seem to venture which is fine by me. Have a good Sunday and enjoy the day. #newquay

Last layer in the kiln gave us Witch hares, Mari lwyd and a new black cloaked Mari lwyd. All born perfectly just the finishing touches to do then they’re ready to fly the nest.

Stopped in fore st cafe Newquay for a coffee and vegan cake yum, a group of smart,articulate intelligent young people on next table ordered bacon, sausage, egg and chicken for lunch. I wondered why not order beef as well, go for a full plate of suffering and death. Where has all the empathy gone?

Good morning beautiful world, it’s looking much cooler today just nice for whatever comes my way. Time to start the day off with my normal breakfast a protein smoothie which I’ve had for the past few weeks and still I look forward to it everyday. Be safe and be kind to all especially animals.

Such a beautiful sky tonight according to the kernow weather team it’s dust from the Sahara, not too bothered as it looks lush but Hattie might not like the thunder that’s due in the middle of the night. #kernowweatherteam

Today it’s been 36 degrees in the garden so thought we’d pop over to Mawgan porth for a stroll alone the beach, it was still quite warm but bearable. Now in the garden with a green hornet cocktail just watching the world go by. Hope you all have a lovely evening❤️ #mawganporth #sunnycornwall

It’s so nice when you’ve not been to work for 2 weeks but the first day back you have to make items with some of your favourite medieval images on. I love our customers as they are in turn with the universe. #medievalmarginalia #medievalimages

Crabbing is sold as harmless seaside fun, but the victim is not a toy. A sentient animal is taken from their home, trapped in a bucket and used as entertainment. Heritage does not make that acceptable.
