“I became a vegan the day I watched a video of a calf being born on a dairy farm. the baby was dragged away from his mother before he hit the ground. the helpless calf strained his head backwards to find his mother. the mother bolted after her son and exploded into a rage when the rancher slammed the gate on her. She wailed the saddest noise i’d ever heard an animal make, and then thrashed and dug into the ground, burying her face in the muddy placenta.” ~ james mcwilliams
