PETA
Animals are not ours
to experiment on, eat, wear, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other way.

Zachary spent most of his life bouncing around various rural Midwestern towns before finally settling down in the Pacific Northwest—largely because of the region’s phenomenal vegan food. If he’s not writing or playing banjo for a captive audience (aka “the two dogs who live with him”), you can assume he’s hiking in the Cascade mountains, rock climbing, or reading about the complex social lives of fish.
