Anna Bonifert is one of the best-known Hungarian vegan animal activists. She is the author of several books and articles on animal welfare and veganism, including “Why Vegan?: Questions about veganism you haven’t dared to ask yet,” which was published in 2014.
“My big dream was the ‘Book of Animal Rights Activists.’ I have always wanted to become a writer, but I have never been interested enough in any topic to sit down and write about it until we came to animal protection, veganism. And I was so interested in it that I could write a book about it from beginning to end.”
“My third book is the counterpart of this book. It is ‘I Will Become Vegan’ and in parentheses says, ‘A handbook for beginners.’ It tends to give practical help for becoming vegan. So, the first one persuades, it tries to give the reasons, and the second one tries to give the know-how. So, it tries to help those who want to become vegan, but who do not know how yet. And both of these can be downloaded in PDF from the Vegan Animal Rights Activists website.”
“I highly recommend everybody to start saving poultry, geese, chickens. It is best if one has a garden. But it can be done even in an apartment. You need to invest some energy, you need to pay attention, you need to change your life a little bit. But it is still better for them than to go to the slaughterhouse.”
Anna lives with 15 animals, some of whom she rescued from animal farms. She tells us about one such family member, Vilmos the rooster. “Yes, because while he was living inside, he almost destroyed my laptop. They enjoy that a lot, tapping on the keyboard, especially when it makes some sound, they are absolutely enchanted by that. Roosters are tremendously intelligent. They don’t leave you alone, the same way that a kitten doesn’t leave you alone; they are always there, checking out everything. While Vilmos was living inside, he followed me everywhere. He was always there and would jump up and then sit on my lap.”
安娜•博尼弗特是匈牙利最著名的純素動保人士之一。她著作數本關於動物福利和純素主義的書籍和文章,包括二○一四年出版的《為什麼持純素?:關於純素主義您不敢提出的疑問。》
「我最大的夢想是《動物權利活動家之書》。我一直想成為作家,但我對任何話題都沒有足夠興趣,能讓我想坐下來寫作直到談到動物保護、純素主義。我對此非常感興趣,因此我可以從頭到尾寫一本關於這個主題的書。」
「我的第三本書是這本書的對應本。《我將成為純素者》括號裡寫著「初學者手冊」。它傾向於為成為純素者提供實際幫助。所以,第一本書是說服,它試圖給出原因,第二本書是試圖��

We, the Bagheera Kiplingi, are also known as the vegetarian spiders of Mexico and Central America. We can proudly say that in 2009, an article was published about us in a journal called Current Biology. We are famous because we are the only spiders in the world known by human scientists to eat a plant for food! Another reason that we are so popular is that we have a strong relationship with our homes – the acacia trees. These trees usually have lots of ants scurrying around and protecting them. The ants shelter inside the hollow thorns of the trees and also eat the “Beltian bodies.” Sometimes we also enjoy eating acacia nectar.
We are part of the Jumping spider or Salticidae family. We have eight eyes, and many people find our large, central eyes to be quite adorable! We are also amazing jumpers. We can jump the distance of many times our body length.
I was very happy recently because Supreme Master Ching Hai spoke about some of my relatives on different occasions. She said that we spiders are beings with souls and that we have helped Her. Of course, the Beloved Master was right! So, I invite you to remember that if you see my extended family – please remember that we might be carrying a message for you! “But not everybody knows what news it is. You have to listen; you have to quiet down. Otherwise, you cannot see. And you can tell that the spider telling you something is different from the spider who doesn’t want to tell you anything. (Oh!) He will go away, doing his own business. But if he just stays in front of you, he doesn’t want to go, he’s not scared of you, he stares at you even, then he wants to transmit something to you.”
So although we are famous for eating vegetation, just remember that we are unique in lots of ways, and that although many people think we are adorable, we are also strong and talented, and as postmen and women do, we may be carrying messages for humans!
我們吉卜林巴希拉蜘蛛,又稱墨西哥和中美洲的素食蜘蛛。我們可以自豪地說,二○○九年,一本名為《當代生物學》的期刊刊登了關於我們的文章。我們之所以出名,乃因為我們是人類科學家所知世上唯一以植物為食的蜘蛛!我們會如此受喜愛的另一個原因,乃因我們與我們的家洋槐樹之間有著密不可分的關係。這些樹通常有很多螞蟻在周圍守衛並保護他們。螞蟻躲在樹的空心棘刺中,並以「貝氏體」為食。有時我們也喜歡吃洋槐蜜。
我們屬於跳蛛科的一種。具有八隻眼睛,很多人覺得我們大且置中的眼睛很可愛!我們也是驚人的跳躍者。我們可以跳出數倍於我們身長的距離。
最近我很高興,因為清海無上師在不同場合談到了我的一些親戚。她�
