Yes, we have indeed made quite a bit of progress, AND YET if we are going to begin to thrive as individuals — and if we are going to ultimately survive as a species, there are still important steps that simply must be made.

It’s 2015, my Friends — which means that it’s high time we had the humility to open our eyes to the cruel injustices that we are still actively supporting with our lifestyle choices, just as it is high time we had the courage to alter the same.

Essentially, when it comes to animal cruelty, we’ve been asleep long enough … and it’s high time for us to Wake UP once again.

“In addition to the amazing and uncontroverted health benefits of eating a plant-based diet, a person who goes vegan immediately saves the citizens of the world roughly 1,100 gallons of fresh water, roughly 20 pounds CO2 emissions, roughly 30 square feet of forest land, roughly 45 pounds of grain and at least one sentient animal’s life EVERY SINGLE DAY.” ~ anonymous

P.S. It is a cruel MYTH that animals raised on “free range” or “organic” or “sustainable” farms live long and happy lives, just as it is an indisputable FACT that there is no humane way to kill someone who does not want to die.
