Matt Monarch sells on his site Deer Antler Velvet Supplement. This has been mentioned on the site before, and someone said that it was not harvested off of live animals, but off of foraged deer antlers in the wild. I have done research on the topic, and the fact is is that deer antler velvet is harvested off of live deer, at deer farms in New Zealand. They drug the deer and remove the velvet from their antlers. These deers are being raised for slaughterer for their meat. I am aware that most if… Continue

I have been studying Vietnamese language for about a year, and I want to be in a situation where I have to apply it more. I know a bit of Thai, Khmer, and Burmese as well. I am planing on taking the bus from Thailand, through Siam Rep, to Angkor Wat, then through Phenom Pheh, then to Vietnam. I will most likely spend a full mont… Continue

Now I would just like to preface this with the fact that I am vegan, and will remain so till death, if I have my life my way, but this situation with the raw model has brought up some interesting debate.
