My name is Leo Jaine. I'm ten years old. I'm in 4th grade and I'm vegan. I'm also a Brown Belt in Kenpo Karate, a Soccer Goalkeeper and a vegan/animal rights activist. I started my activism in the 3rd grade when I convinced my school principal, school vice-prinicipal as well as a neighbor family of five to go vegan.

I became a vegan six years ago because:

• I love animals
• When I learned the TRUTH about where non-vegan food comes from it was unbearable and I knew it was wrong
• I believe it is wrong to hurt and kill animals - so I am proudly vegan

I am an Activist because:

• Animals don't have a voice but I do
• Billions of animals are killed every year for food and that's NOT okay with me
• I want to lead by example AND help other kids help animals BY GOING VEGAN
• Kids are kind to animals right from the start
• But as we get older, adults tell us we HAVE to eat animals and that it's okay
• But I THINK THAT'S WRONG, and I KNOW OTHER KIDS DO TOO
• So, I am an activist because I want to lead by example AND inspire other kids to JOIN me

My main message to EVERYONE is:

• PLEASE BE COMPASSIONATE
• There is no compassionate way to kill an animal and there never will be
• You wouldn't kill a dog or cat, right? Well, ALL farmed animals who are killed every single second for food ARE JUST LIKE OUR DOGS AND CATS at home - or any other animal you live with
• ALL non-vegan food INVOLVES VIOLENCE
• ALL non-vegan food INVOLVES THE KILLING OF ANIMALS (who are killed when THEY are BABIES or a little older)
• KILLING  IS  KILLING - AND KILLING IS WRONG
• So, PLEASE be compassionate BY LEAVING ANIMALS OFF YOUR PLATE

My main advice for KIDS is:

• DON'T LET ANYONE make you feel it's wrong to be compassionate
• WE ALL KNOW that BULLYING is wrong
• WE ALL KNOW that VIOLENCE is wrong
• WE ALL CERTAINLY KNOW that KILLING is wrong
• And we ALL KNOW in our HEARTS what is RIGHT: COMPASSION

EVERYONE!

THE WORLD IS CHANGING: more and more people are HELPING animals, and the planet, and themselves (health wise) BY GOING VEGAN

PLEASE: Don't be on the BLIND side that allows violence and killing of animals

INSTEAD, PLEASE be on the KIND side that PROTECTS and SAVES animals
