What are vegans?
Crazy, radical, emotional, extreme.
I understand that this is what it can seem like
from the outside,
but you need to try and see it from our side
to truly understand what being vegan means.
Because we view the world differently, you see,
like waking up in a nightmare, it can be hard for me
to always be composed, not let my sadness show,
because what happens to the animals
you wouldn't wish on your enemy.
From castration to maceration, gassing to dehorning,
separating babies from their mothers
now they're mourning for the lives that are lost
at the ripe low cost of $2.50
for a god-damn cheese burger.
Because that's really what it comes down to,
lives sacrificed for you and a taste sensation
that could have been swapped for something new.
But you won't even try it.
God forbid I criticise your diet,
even when it is unnecessarily violent.
But I know what you're thinking,
"They're just chickens, pigs, and cows,"
and if the stats say something
you're probably eating one now.
But take a moment to consider
that animal's life and litter,
because it's the only one they'll ever have.
They're really not all that different from us,
at least when it comes to what matters,
like having a will to live, and room to run and scatter.
To be free from pain, have friends and play games.
To deny them such rights puts humanity to shame.
From tree huggers to log luggers,
athletes to doctors,
Mother Nature's on our side and nothing will stop her
from providing us with health,
sustainability and moral wealth,
there's no end to what being vegan can do for you.
So what are vegans?
By definition we wish to reduce harm
to cows and chickens and pigs on farms.
To minimise their suffering as much as possible,
even when society says that kindness isn't cool.
