    I would like to give you the chance to see it from our perspective:

    If you would see something fundamentally wrong in the streets/online, wouldn’t you speak up about it?

    Like for example, someone boasts online that they steal from a local family business every day and on their way out, they punch the owners kid in the face. And others are even rooting for that person in the comment section. - You would still speak up about it, wouldn’t you? You would try to set that person straight.

    As vegans, we came to the conclusion that using and exploiting animals is a wrong thing to do. We’ve seen too many horrible things while experiencing the gentleness and kindness of these animals. We have sworn ourselfs to change our ways to not be part of that anymore and we try to fight for them - as they are not able to do it on their own. We speak up about the injustice that we perceive - just as you would do in the other instance.

    We know that we are annoying because of that, annoying because we speak up. The people that try to break the echo chamber are always considered annoying. But we can’t help it. We need to do something at least.
