Vegans support a mom and her son after he was bullied at school for having a vegan birthday party.


Angel Craine, a vegan since 2022, is passionate about giving her children the opportunity to choose their own eating habits. 


Last year, Malachi, four, decided to celebrate his fourth birthday with a Pokemon-themed party, but as the day approached, his classmates did not RSVP. 


Angel told 7News that she was shocked to find out that her son had been bullied at school because he chose to have a vegan birthday cake, which was dairy-free. 


"They told him they wouldn't come if he didn't have cow's milk in it," she said, "I can't believe kids his age are already bullying vegans."


His mother, Angel, said she was heartbroken that her son had been so ostracised by his peers. 


"He's been coming home every day saying the kids aren't being nice to him," she said. "I'm really overwhelmed by how compassionate the vegan community has been."


Angel decided to share her son's story on the Facebook group Vegans in Australia and asked if anyone in the northside of Brisbane had vegan children who would like to attend his fifth birthday party. 


"My 4-year-old is being bullied a lot because he's vegan," she wrote, "so I was wondering if anyone would be willing to come to his birthday party." 


Angel received an incredible amount of support for his post, as 12 members of the group pledged to attend. 


She said that he's always enthusiastic about making new friends and he's truly looking forward to his birthday.


Furthermore, the mom shared her admiration for her son's resilience, saying, "I'm incredibly proud of my son for not letting bullying get to him and for staying committed to veganism and animal welfare."


Regardless of our individual choices and tastes, it's important that no child ever feels left out.

It should come as no surprise that Kanye West and 'implants that are like nothing that has been done before' are mentioned together. He's a man who doesn't take things lightly, and his most recent financial decision was reportedly to spend $850,000 on palladium and platinum teeth. And the oddest part of all? His teeth are all still intact. Credit: Instagram @Kanyewest The implants are termed as 'fixed-prosthodontics', and he designed them with the help of medical and dental professionals. A person familiar with the matter said : "They are, as the name suggests, fixed and permanent, but this goes way beyond veneers or grills."And his implant is unlike anything done before." He collaborated with the so-called 'Father of Diamond Dentistry', Dr. Thomas Connelly, who made and fitted the dentures. The rapper s...

The 'luckiest man in the world' who survived death and won the lottery twice

Image
Featured Image Credit: 9News Your chances of winning the lottery are tiny, roughly one in 45 million, so it is doubtful that any of us would win a large fortune in our lifetime. However, trucker Bill Morgan won the lotto twice. Bill's heart stopped for 14 minutes in June 1998, but he was miraculously revived by physicians. He wasn't out of the woods just yet, as he ended up in a coma for over two weeks. After being engaged in a terrifying vehicle incident, Australian Bill was proclaimed 'clinically dead' by health specialists, yet he outperformed expectations. Bill was out and about one day when he decided to purchase himself a scratch card and was happy to learn he'd won a brand new car - a Toyota Corolla worth $30,000. When word spread of his dramatic reversal of fortunes, a Melbourne television station called Bill to tell his story. While filming the feature, the 9News Australia TV crew requested him to duplicate his victory with a new scratch card, which he duti...

Dog says ‘hello’ in ‘English accent’, leaving people people baffled

Dog says ‘hello’ in ‘English accent’, leaving people people baffled Featured image credit: Jam Press/Tik Tok @fuggersandcompany Dogs have long been known for their cleverness, but a chihuahua has apparently reached a new level of intelligence, as it can speak' with a British accent.  Of course, most dogs are trained to bark when their owners tell them to ‘speak’, but this isn’t your typical woof. It’s a sophisticated, well-chosen delivery of the word ‘hello’, as if it’s coming out of the mouth of a well-dressed university professor. But the amazing thing is that the word doesn’t come from a professor, but rather from a dog named ‘Fuggers’. You heard me, didn’t you? In the video below, Fuggers shares her greeting with her owner, Shana Gilbert, who lives in Bedford, UK. The video begins with Fuggers fidgeting, as if she’s trying to get Shana’s attention. She wags her tail and shuffles along the floor, but then stops dead in her tracks as she decides that words will have more impact....
