This t shirt features one of my all-time favourite quotations from American writer and naturalist Henry Beston. I just love it so much, and think it is the best way I have ever seen animals described and it captures exactly how I feel about animals, so I'm very excited that this hand-printed t shirt is now once more available. I will put the longer quotation at the bottom of the page.
This is a black Fruit of the Loom t shirt, with Henry Beston's quotation and three white rabbits, all hand-printed in vegan-friendly cruelty free inks. I chose to illustrate the design with New Zealand White rabbits because they are such a abused animal, so cruelly used in vivisection, as well as bred for meat, and because they are such wonderful animals- we rescued a few and lived alongside them for years, as family, and they are amazing creatures, so full of character and purpose.
These t shirts are hand-printed to order so please be patient and allow a few days for the magic to happen.
Price includes one t shirt and UK postage and packing- we recycle packaging whenever possible and we also use biodegradable posting bags.
We have spent our lives rescuing, campaigning for and looking after animals, so we will be donating 10% of the profit from this tee shirt to wildlife rescue in the UK.
“We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate for having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein do we err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with the extension of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings: they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.”
― Henry Beston, The Outermost House: A Year of Life On The Great Beach of Cape Cod
