The meat farmer who went vegan

"It was unbearable." He reared, milked and slaughtered cows for decades, but Jay Wilde at Bradley Nook Farm decided he'd had enough of the cruelty involved in dairy and meat farming and went vegan. This is his story.

    'You must have been weak', if anything, he was stronger for making that decision. It's easy to follow what you've always done as it's safe and everyone else is doing it, but it takes a strong person to change their life like he did. Well done to him!

    He sounds like he’s been bullied into it, but he does talk about slaughter as though it’s murder of a human, and tbf it’s not something I could do, my grandfather had a farm and traumatised me as a child, thinking I was picking a pet and my grandfather took the goose and wrung it’s neck infront of my, apparently I was hysterical xx
