Mother’s Day is right around the corner, making this the perfect time to honor your mother by helping mothers of all species.


Like us, farmed animals develop strong, lifelong bonds with their young, and seek to protect them from harm.
Mother hens take their chicks under their wings, providing shelter, and chicks spend their first few weeks learning to scratch for food by watching their mothers.


Cows carry their calves for nine months and they suckle them for nine to twelve months, much like human mothers.


Mother pigs sing to their babies while nursing.

We all have the power to help mothers confined and abused on factory farms by adopting a kind and compassionate plant-based lifestyle. Get delicious plant-based meal ideas by ordering a FREE Vegetarian Starter Guide today, and check us out on Pinterest for even more recipes.
