Let’s talk.
What you just read is what we imagine a farmed animal might say if they could write a letter to us. It is a true story which countless of animals live through each year for the purpose of human consumption. Horrible, isn’t it?!
The good news is that you, as an individual, have the power to make a difference. You see, these injustices don’t happen because of some government mandate or because they’re necessary for our survival. They happen because every time animal products are purchased, it signals a demand for more. But by choosing differently, you can help break the cycle.
Veganism is a philosophy and way of living that seeks to exclude, as far as possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation and cruelty to animals for food, clothing, or any other purpose. Vegans avoid consuming meat, dairy, and eggs, as well as wearing materials like leather and fur. By adopting veganism, you show that you don’t support what happens to animals on farms and send a clear message to businesses that you value compassion and justice.
Going vegan might sound impossible, but most vegans will tell you it easier than it seems. If it sounds intimidating but you want to give it a try, websites like challenge22 can help you out with advice, meal plans, and support from experienced mentors and dietitians to guide you every step of the way.
Still Not Convinced?
That’s okay! Big changes like this take time and reflection. If you’d like to explore further, check out letters from other animals, visit the rebuttals page for responses to common arguments against veganism, or watch Dominion to learn the truth about life on all kinds of farms.
