Maria and Katrina - “There are only two types of people. Those who are plant-based and those who are transitioning to a plant-based diet.”

Bini - The regenerative culture coordinator for Animal Rebellion

Max - “We are a new generation and we want a plant-based system with plant milk. It’s on it’s way…Dairy cows and their manure produce greenhouse gas emissions which contribute to climate change.”

Delilah - “Because pigs are highly intelligent and easily distressed, group gassing is touted as the most ‘humane’ method of rendering them unconscious before slaughter…Because of improper stunning, many pigs are alive when they reach the scalding-hot water baths which are intended to soften their skin and remove their hair.”

Amar - “Ahimsa is a good philosophy to live by. It’s the Buddhist and Hindu tradition of respect for all things and avoidance of violence against all living creatures.”

Esther - “The time is now and there is no way we can just follow the traditional routes of education, political ladder-climbing and social reform. There just isn’t the time. This is a climate emergency and we must act now.”
