"We all say that we love animals and we're all against animals cruelty, but we pay people to mutilate, torture and slaughter animals. It's not for any necessity and it's not because we need to for our health. It's just because we like the way they taste." -James Aspey
Different people go vegan for different reasons and there are a hundred reasons to avoid animal products. But the simplest most universal reason is because it's the right thing to do. It helps the animals, the environment, and us.
People have always aggressively asked me of why I chose this lifestyle. I've always kept my silence because I'm scared of the fact that people might find the truth intimidating and maybe I would come across as rude. I saw this quote today and realised that I should be fearless and proud that I'm doing the right thing.
Rosa Parks, the mother of the freedom movement and also a vegetarian, stood up for civil rights I'm standing up for vegans. Why I chose to be vegan, you may ask ? Here's why:
I'm vegan for the female cows who are forcefully inseminated in order for them to lactate for humans to drink. Then have their babies taken away to their death.
I'm vegan for the chickens who are debeaked, then forced into small cages to lay eggs.
I'm vegan for the cows who are beaten because they are too sick to walk themselves to their own slaughter.
I'm vegan for the pigs who are slammed to pieces on the ground.
I'm vegan for the male chicks who are tossed into a grinder alive.
I'm vegan for the ducks and geese that are forced fed by having metal pipes rammed down their throats just for that "fancy delicacy" called foie gras.
I'm vegan for the foxes who are skinned alive for fur and also crocodiles just to make that Hermes bag.
I'm vegan for the rabbits who are tested on for makeup.
I'm vegan for the elephants in chains at the circus who are beaten to perform.
We have the power to save over 4,200 litres of water, 20 kilograms of grain, 30 sq ft of land, 10 kilograms of carbon dioxide, and one animal's life every single day.
To me, being vegan is easy. Being vegan doesn't mean we have to give up taste or your favourite food. Nowadays there exist amazing vegan [cont]..

【丹頂鶴蛋蛋的哀愁—認真入孵惜未受精 The Red-Crowned Cranes' Egg Are Not Inseminated】
為進行異地保種合作計畫,2011年遠從日本北海道釧路市阿寒國際鶴類中心,運送到臺北市立動物園的丹頂鶴「Big」和「Kika」,由於無法從外觀辨認性別,加上這幾年來「Kika」從沒生過蛋,「Big」也一副不解風情的表現,讓動物園一度懷疑「Kika」的性別,還特別透過遺傳鑑定,確認「Kika」是雌性無誤;而「Kika」自己總算夠爭氣,在4月25日努力產下「鶴」生中的第一顆蛋。
