2025 THE YEAR I WOKE UP

2025 was the year I found out what was happening to animals at the hands of humans
It was the year I came across footage of Orcas imprisoned in a marine park and then all of Joey Carbstrong footage, Gary Yurofskys speech, Pignorant the documentary, Dominion the documentary. My eyes opened to the reality of what had been hidden from me for 32 years.
The blindfold came off, and I woke up from the dream that we are all brainwashed to believe: that it’s normal and necessary to exploit, abuse and torture animals.
2025 was the year I started going to slaughterhouses on my own to expose the truth to the billions of people who still don’t know and are living without knowing what they are actually funding to have happen to them
I realised that ‘humane slaughter’ is a lie. That every single animal struggles until their very last breath, just like human-animals do when they are murdered too
I realised how insane people think vegans and animal rights activists are because they are simply trying to stop people from needlessly oppressing and torturing animals
How many people would rather remove you from their life or distance themselves from you, than face the truth. Face the mirror that you hold up to them by simply living without exploiting animals yourself.
I realised the way that female cows are brutally r8ped so they are forced to be pregnant, then have their babies taken away whilst they bellow and mourn for days. Her babies brutally killed. Just literal babies. The worst possible thing any mother could imagine and most humans actually participate in this and pay for it to happen with their money. All so we take the milk that was never ours to take, which we aren’t even supposed to put into our bodies.
The year I essentially started begging people in the street to please stop paying for these atrocities. The year I lost respect for many people because you see what humans true values are. Veganism is the only movement which requires people to change their habits and actions, rather than just posting a few hashtags and talking about being against oppression.
Veganism requires one to actually have to act like one respects animals rather than just talking about it.
The world became a really dark place once I learned the reality of what we are doing to billions of animals every single year.
That there is a current Holocaust going on, the biggest in human history, and most people are walking around acting as if it’s normal.
But it was also the year that I found my actual people in life: those that align their morals with their actions and respect the most vulnerable beings on the planet, rather than exploiting them, murdering them, and abusing them for their own trivial desires.
I will never ever stop defending and fighting for the most oppressed victims on the planet until the day I die, or until they are liberated, now that I know the truth.
If you are struggling as a Vegan or an Animal Acvists with living in a non-vegan world, want to work on your phsyicaly and mental health, and thrive as an animal defender, I offer discounted life coaching sessions for Vegans via zoom.
