Thursday Post (Late!) - Remaining positive and educating ourselves.

Some times it can be hard to stay positive in this world, where there are so many animals being killed needlessly, and it can feel as people wont change their ways. But they can and do! I have met former farmers and former slaughterhouse workers who are now vegan speakers! That combined with all the positive and moving stories that are shared on the website - www.humanemyth.org.

One thing that is good to do is to educate ourselves, and one person who is great at teaching is Gary Yourofsky. Whether its through his famous talks, Youtube videos or through his resourceful website www.adaptt.org. One thing that jumped out at me recently from his site is the animal kill counter that appears when people open his site, its a stark wake up call that we need to do things to stop the animal holocaust. So with his work and the positive stories of humanemyth.org we can be hopeful and use our knowledge to educate others.

Here is an example of the kill counter!
