I just uploaded a new facebook album called ‘vegetarian’. It contains a load of thought-provoking pictures that I found on vegan facebook groups. They are broadly to do with veganism, vegetarianism, capitalism and animal testing. I have put some of the pictures below so you can have a look.
I tagged quite a few of my friends in the album. I have a feeling that this group is going stir up some tensions – especially amongst people who feel uncomfortable about the pictures I have put up. Hopefully no one will react too badly. I just hope they will make a difference to the actions of at least one person. Even if my friends get annoyed with me, it will all be worthwhile if only one person thinks more about where food comes from and cuts down their meat / dairy consumption by a small percentage.
The average non-vegetarian consumes about 70 animals per year. Over the course of a lifetime, they may consume almost 5,000 animals. If my album makes one person cut down their animal consumption by just 1%, that will mean that potentially 50 animals whose lives won’t be ruined by the meat industry.
