Evanna Lynch

‘I’ve always abhorred violence and am highly sensitised to it.

‘If you choose to eat meat.…you love PETS not ANIMALS….’

Benjamin Zephaniah

"Our thinking about non-human animals is very confused, and people who have chosen to live a cruelty-free plant-based lifestyle are baffled as to why other people have not made the connection. Many of us live with companion animals such as dogs, cats, and rabbits. We share our homes with them, consider them members of the family and we grieve when they die. Yet we kill and eat other animals who, if you really think about it, are no different from the ones we love."

‘It takes nothing away from a human to be kind to an animal.’
