scream for… VEGANISM! Okay, okay, no we don’t. Let me just start off by saying this is not another vegan advocacy. Trust me, there’s already one too many of those.

I agree, some vegans are so angry at the world sometimes I myself as a vegetarian think…

Large amounts of animals are put through horrible conditions in their cages and often beaten. This is incredibly inhumane, but several people do not care considering…
