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
