Hi everyone!
I just wanted to come here and share the moment I decided to go vegetarian (and later vegan) in case anyone is looking for ideas for activism or ways to persuade non-vegans.
First I want to say, I've always been vegan in my heart so I always felt that eating meat was wrong, fishing was wrong, animal abuse in general was wrong.
A big seed that was planted for me was in college; someone put pamphlets that talked about animal agriculture and had slaughterhouse photos inside under my windshield wiper. It was the first time I had seen anything like that.
The next big seed was the documentary "The Cove" about dolphins being slaughtered in Japan. That was the moment I became vegetarian.
The next seed was meeting a vegan at a party who straight up told me that being vegetarian wasn't enough and talked about the dairy industry with me. I didn't go vegan that day but shortly after.
I would love to hear about everyone's seeds and what worked for you.
