A shipment of 10,000 baby birds was recently discovered abandoned in a USPS facility in Delaware. This is what raising animals for food looks like: Living beings are bred, boxed and shipped like merchandise. And when the system fails, the animals pay the ultimate price. So, please, let’s go vegan.
Chickens are curious, intelligent birds who form tight-knit bonds, recognize faces and even cluck to their unborn chicks. Human beings don’t have to eat these sensitive birds or steal their eggs. Vegan chicken, like Gardein tenders or air-fried tofu nuggets, delivers all the flavor without suffering. For egg swaps, try Follow Your Heart’s Vegan Egg or Just Egg.
Every meal is a choice to support compassion or cruelty. Let’s choose compassion.
