Happy 2009: A Look Back at 2008

by

As 2008 comes to a close, I’ve taken some time to look back over what the year brought for Living Without Meat. This site is only about a year and a half old in total, so I’m still getting to see it grow and expand daily. As I peruse what readers enjoyed and responded to during the year, I decided to highlight a few popular posts from 2008.

Here are some of LWM’s highlights from the year:

* On January 25, I mentioned that TV reality star and tattoo artist Ami James posed for a PETA ad in “Miami Ink’s Ami James: Friend of Animals”. Maybe it’s because the post has been up for 11 months, or maybe it’s the fact that a topless photo of a sexy man was included, but either way this post had the most visitors.

* Ellen Degeneres garnered a lot of attention this year between her vegan wedding with Portia de Rossi and official coming out as a vegan.

* October was the busiest month thanks to the presidential election, Oprah’s animal rights shows, and World Vegan Day.

* I was honored to receive comments from staff members of well-known animal and vegan organizations: PETA’s Lianne responded to several posts, including “Oprah Named PETA’s 2008 Person of the Year,” “Hayden Panettiere: Animal - and Leather - Lover,” and “Nudity Rules: Opinions Vary on Naked PETA Ads.” VegNews left a gift for me in the comments of “Dear Santa: Presents for a Vegan” - a gift subscription to the magazine!

Happy New Year, everyone! Cheers to a good year past and one more to come!
