It's Time

Sunshine and a fresh breeze,
Lush fields and tall trees.
Friendship and bonds that will never be broken,
Memories that will never be forgotten.
Families that look out for one another,
Sons and daughters raised with the love of a mother.
A joy it is to live on this beautiful planet,
Healthy long lives lived without regret.

A life of freedom,
A life that we deny them.
Because they are property of humans,
Who enslave them just because they can.
A short life of misery and exploitation,
These sentient beings cry for freedom.
They have no words but their pleas are clear,
"We want to live, we don't want to die here."
Mothers torn from their newborn babies,
Young children slaughtered mercilessly.
They are moral persons, not things,
But we treat them like profit machines.
Over 56 billion murdered a year,
Simply for humans to eat, use and wear.

It's time to stop the killing, violence and oppression,
Time to end all hatred and discrimination.
Time to respect the rights of one another,
Time for peace and love to take over.
We don't need to exploit to survive,
So is it really worth taking innocent lives?
Go vegan, end the use.
They don't have a choice, but you do.

Sunshine and a fresh breeze,
Lush fields and tall trees.
How wonderful it is,
To be free.

Please Adopt Me

I sit here in this cage right now
Wondering where I went wrong
Why have my family left me?
Where have they gone?

I am trapped in this scary place
Not knowing what will happen to me
I see many other dogs in here
All begging to be free.

I have so much love to give
If only someone would give me a chance
Many people pass me by
But they don't give a second glance

I am waiting for someone
Someone like you
To come and free me from this terrible place
If you don't come, I don't know what I would do.

Please, if you're out there
Don't breed, don't buy
Please someone adopt me
I don't want to die.

Billions of healthy animals are killed in shelters simply because they can't find a home. Please adopt. Save a life. It would mean the whole world to that animal.

It's about them, not me

Many ask me why I'm vegan.

Well I will tell you.

It's not because it's healthier.

That's just an added bonus.

I don't care if vegans do or do not live longer than meat eaters.

And it's not about whether I find it hard or easy.

Or expensive or cheap.

I am vegan not for me, or you.

I am vegan for them.

The billions of innocent creatures who are slaughtered for human pleasure.

I seek to end all animal use.

That is why I am vegan.

It's about them, not me.
