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
