VERY IMPORTANT, PLEASE SHARE;

This is a video about the UK governement that wants to slaughter wild horses. Of course, a petition against it exists; it's in the link of the video.

I'm begging you to share and maybe even sign the petition, this is super important.

Here's the link of the petition, since it got blocked on the YT video: https://c.org/MWKCnfpkvx

We wish these images would do more than just making someone feel bad behind their monitor, we need to do more.

Day 6- The Woes Of Dealing With An Extremist

I recently had the unfortunate experience of having to deal with an extremist. And oh man, I can tell you, it’s not easy. He kept fighting with me on the most random things that came out of nowhere, they weren’t even related to the main subject of our conversation. He went from taking care of animals to fighting with me on vegetarianism, and somehow racism and slavery got into it?

Here’s what I believe though- to each his own. No, I don’t support unnecessary and senseless slaughtering of animals, of course not. However, if someone wants to have chicken on a Friday night, i wouldn’t say they’re wrong. There is a difference between what is okay and natural, versus what is unnecessary and cruel. Killing animals on large scale just for the fun of it, is just plain wrong; however, being a non vegetarian isn’t. It’s a personal choice and has no correlation whatsoever to if you like and want to take care of animals. A person who is a vegetarian may be cruel to animals, while a person who isn’t may be caring and kind and want to take care of them. I don’t believe that this is a valid argument for deciding who will be able to take care of animals and who wouldn’t.

And for all those people still confused about this, or who will still try to fight and make people convert, maybe go repeat class 4 and learn about the food cycle, capeesh?
