    I totally agree w everything vegans say.... except for the wool! Sheep love being shorn, yes they do, running off all naked m happy 😊 Maybe that’s just Australian sheep... and New Zealand sheep 🐑 Wool is a noble industry.

    Spot on! I don’t know how people can witness these killings and cruelty without being affected by it.

    I am against animal abuse. But, not all farmers abuse their animals. I think the larger mass producers tend to. And other countries like China are horrific in the way the slaughter their animals. I am on the edge of being Vegan. Occasionally I eat meat, but mostly not.

    I have seen excellent compassionate family private farms homesteaders.But the evil industrialized food production is sadist horrors. Is not farming. Evil ppl doing these heinous crimes need held accountable. They are not food

    He is actually lying. He’s vegan because it is an image thing furthermore he is delusional and knows nothing about actual animal farming and his information is based on propaganda.
