You got into animal rights at a very young age how did you get educated on these topics at such a young age? When I was 6 a girl down the street got a rabbit fur coat for Christmas. I didn’t know anything about fur farms or anal electrocution but I knew the some rabbits had died so this girl could have a silly ugly coat. When I was 10 my teacher asked us to pick a topic for a research project that we wanted to know more about. I wanted to know what we were doing to animals that no one was talking about- so I picked the fur industry, factory farming, and vivisection. I stopped eating animals that year.
Do you remember the day you decided to be Vegan? I didn’t go vegan for another 7 years, when I was 17 and I went to YES! Camp, Ocean Robbins (son of John Robbins) coordinated this week long retreat mostly in California. I went to the one in Minnesota, and we ate vegan all week. I didn’t know the relationship before between milk and veal, I didn’t know many other vegetarians let alone any vegans before that so I had no idea how milk was made. Once I did, I never looked back.
