Let's get things started.. and quickly!

Hi there!

My name is Cass and I am a vegan animal rights activist.

I love animals. There's no more to add to that story. I love them so much I won't eat their flesh or by-products (milk, eggs, cheese, cream, etc etc). I will not wear them (leather, wool, suede). I will not purchase products that test on them. I do not take advantage of them. I think you get the point.

Many of you out there may say - "Well, I love animals too!" - and that's great! But do you finish your day with a chunk of decomposing cow on your plate, oh I mean steak... or Kentucky Fried Carcass... ooops! My bad! I mean chicken. These were once animals too. But people see these sorts of animals as food and nothing else. And this is where the problem lays.

Also people don't see what's so bad about eating eggs or drinking milk. Let me explain...

EGGS: If you knew what the poor battery chickens go through to produce those eggs you'd understand what's so bad. Imagine living in a space that's big enough for you to sit cross-legged. The cage touches your knees, the top of your head. You can't stretch out, you can't stand up. Your leg muscles over time deteriorate as you don't use them. And on top of this hell you are expected to squeeze out an egg every day - but this still doesn't guarantee you your life. After a year or so you don't produce as many anymore and you get slaughtered. Thanks so much for your eggs but you're life isn't worth anything now - goodbye. The end. THAT'S what is wrong with eggs.
And here's food for thought - do males lay eggs? No. Do they use roosters for meat? No. Well what do they do to the 10 MILLION male chicks born each year in Australia? Grind them up... alive...

MILK: Why do mothers create milk? Duh to feed their babies! So for us to have milk in our coffees and on our cereal every morning a baby calf is missing out. But this lack of mother's milk doesn't last long... where do you think veal comes from? For the luxury of milk - a baby calf gets slaughtered. Think of that when you chug down your glass of milk before bed. And then think about the puss that you are also consuming. Puss you say? Yes that's right. You try being milked every day by a machine that doesn't have a loving touch. Infections happen. Infections cause puss. Mmmm tasty.

How do we stop this? Simple. Stop eating eggs and stop drinking milk. Pretty black and white to me. There is soy milk for your coffee. And there is no real need for eggs.

I think this is enough for our first session. Be sure to come back for more!
