An adorable five-year-old has gone viral after bursting into tears when a plate of turkey was placed in front of her at the dinner table.

Indie Rose, from Dublin, was horrified after helping her dad prepare a meal and realising that some animals are killed to be eaten by humans.

Sitting in front of her plate of turkey, Indie Rose told her father through sobs that she didn't want to eat the meat after learning they are 'chopped up' by farmers before they reach the table.

Holding a strip of turkey meat sadly in her hand, she says: "I don't like it when people eat animals I just don't want them to be chopped up."

Indie Rose then adds: "Who is chopping them all up?" to which her father replies, "Farmers. It's how they make their living."

Defiantly, she adds "I don't like it when they chop animal people up. If this is how we keep chopping them up there'll be no more animals."

The video has been viewed more that 14.7 million times since it was uploaded to Facebook.

In a comment on the clip, Facebook user Nicola Moore said: "This is my daughter! She is still a vegetarian and hasn't had meat since. FYI for some people, she wasn't pushed into anything, no one in my family is vegetarian."

She added: "She loves animals, bugs, insects, I'm not allowed to even kill a fly in my house."
