This is a statue of George Bernard Shaw (he won the Noble Prize for Literature in 1925) which is standing in front of the Shaw Cafe and Wine Bar in Niagara on the Lake, Ontario. There is a theater in town that has an annual Shaw Festival.

Melissa_J I grew up not too far from Niagara on the Lake, but I don‘t remember ever attending the Shaw Festival! We‘d head to Toronto for musicals and I would go on school field trips to Stratford, Ontario to see plays as part of the Stratford Festival, but never Shaw. 5y
DivineDiana @Melissa_J It‘s such a beautiful area! Not sure when the festival began. 😉 I regret that I was not able to attend the theater during my visit. 5y

George Bernard Shaw didn‘t eat his friends. Neither do I, anymore. When I first met the turkeys and pigs, the cows and chickens, the goats and sheep at farm animal sanctuaries, I was blown away by how unique each individual is. I apologized to a steer, destined for veal crates before rescue. Once I knew better, I did better.

This summer marks 10 years since I read Skinny Bitch. I gave up meat & milk immediately. 18 months later, I was #vegan.

AmyG That is a HUGE turkey. 6y
dariazeoli @AmyG They‘re bred that way for slaughter. This guy was way older than the meat industry intended! A lot of them have health problems because their frames can‘t support their wait. But he was definitely showing off that day and puffing his feathers ☺️ 6y
DivineDiana Cheers to your open heart! ❤️ 6y
