HIDDEN makes a remarkable gift. Not for everyone – it’s an emotional book of unflinching photography and searing commentary. But for those who love photography, animals or thought-provoking and historic books, HIDDEN becomes a cherished artifact. It is the seminal book on animal photojournalism, and it is moving.

Awarded Outstanding Book of the Year (IPPY) and Photography Book of the Year (POY), HIDDEN: Animals in the Anthropocene is unlike anything someone will receive this holiday.

Something to be grateful for this American Thanksgiving are the innovators who make it easy to leave turkeys off the table. Last month Jo-Anne visited Tofurky, headquartered in Oregon, to document the processes and people behind the food. Best known for its Thanksgiving alternatives, Tofurky has become vast, selling food in 25 countries.

Our latest feature in NowThis details why turkeys should remain off the table, and our latest Tofurky content shows one of the many innovators helping to achieve that ambition.

“A permanent ban on breeding mink [and] on live mink on farms by April 2023; all operations ceasing completely... by 2025.”

This is the British Columbian government’s decision on mink farms after multiple COVID-19 outbreaks. They maintain the ban is purely for public health, although some mink farmers are adamant that activists played a significant role persuading the government. We have documented these farms and they are grim places that continue to exist elsewhere in Canada, the US, Europe and Asia – for now.
