I'm Vegan now that I woke up
Also a mouse rescuer, among other things :)
As more of an introvert, I feel that I have to force myself to add my own to all the voices out there so I am joining forums related to animal rights and animal welfare.
It is intolerable to me to think that I can't stop the suffering of each individual animal. I hope that someday, with what people are doing NOW, it will have a cumulative effect and will eventually save those in the future from the same fate. I hope I see something change before I die.
Until a year ago I thought that animal cruelty was illegal and therefore, assumed that applied to farm animals. I don't watch TV and I missed a lot of reality. But thanks to the 'net I came face-to-face with a video inside a turkey operation and that changed my life. I wish I had learned all this years ago.
