Harvey“Let’s be clear: animals are people too. I’m so tired of the uneven, speciesist treatment that folks hand out. Look, can’t we all just get along? Yes, I may be covered with bristles but I’m an attractive, normal javelina. Realizing this – as a writer – led me to create Wild Animal Writers. Its an outlet, a soapbox, a trough to wallow in.” – Harvey Javelina
