“Can you imagine being born into this world for the sole purpose of being slaughtered for your flesh, at the hands of those who never recognised you as an individual?
How hard would you want those who could see your suffering to fight? And at what extreme would you be okay with them stopping?
Because their lives should never have been seen as anything other than their own. Because taste or tradition does not justify spilling a single drop of blood, or a single tear.
Because given the opportunity, they would show us nothing but love.
We wish we didn’t have to be ‘vegan’. We wish that ‘vegan’ was just ‘normal’. That is the day we are fighting for.
To those we left behind, we are sorry. We wish we could have shown you what freedom looks like.”
