http://chernavsky.smugmug.com/Family/ Hi, my name is Alex Chernavsky.&nbsp; I'm 43 years old, and I live in Rochester, NY.&nbsp; I work for the Humane Society of Rochester and Monroe County, known locally as <a href="http://www.lollypop.org/" target="_blank">Lollypop Farm</a>.&nbsp; I'm a <a href="http://www.vegan.com/" target="_blank">vegan</a>, because it's irrational to show compassion toward dogs, cats, and other domestic pets but not toward cows, pigs, or chickens.&nbsp; Also, I don't want my animal-protection work to be “un-done” or counter-balanced by any participation in the exploitation of farm animals.&nbsp; Veganism is easier than you might think!&nbsp; For more information about abolishing animal exploitation, see this website about animal-rights lawyer <a href="http://www.gary-francione.com/" target="_blank">Gary Francione</a>. Some of my post-Katrina images are captioned and available at <a href="http://www.katrina-animal-rescue.com/" target="_blank">www.katrina-animal-rescue.com</a>. I love to hear from people, so send me an e-mail message at <a href="mailto:alexc@aya.yale.edu">alexc@aya.yale.edu</a>. http://www.smugmug.com/img/feed-icon.png Wed, 12 Oct 2005 17:12:44 -0700 Fri, 08 Jan 2010 12:06:04 -0800 http://www.smugmug.com/ Copyright 2010, the copyright holder of each photograph.
