For example I went to a climate march, even though I find it rather uncomfortable as an introvert. Especially with a sign that bears a vegan message. What motivated me to do that anyway, was the awareness that this is too important to be comfortable.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/theveganmonster.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/The-Vegan-Monster-Is-Your-Diet-Killing-The-Planet-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6671\" src=\"https:\/\/theveganmonster.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/The-Vegan-Monster-Is-Your-Diet-Killing-The-Planet-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" title=\"\"><\/a><br \/>\nAnother confrontation that I have avoided for many years was dealing with reality. The brutal reality animal factory farms and slaughterhouses worldwide. I watched a German TV <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=K_-6cABD_fE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">undercover report<\/a> about the gruesome reality of pig farms in Germany. I saw the documentary about the mistreatment and murder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/7.30\/the-dark-side-of-the-horse-racing-industry\/11614022\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;retired&#8221; racing horses in Australia<\/a>. And I read quite a few shocking articles. It was absolutely awful and shocking.<\/p>\n<h3>And I will never forget these images.<\/h3>\n<p>A very active vegan activist friend supplies me with food for though every day. And the lovely ladies from the German animal activist project <a href=\"https:\/\/beautifulcommitment.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beautiful Commitment<\/a> really shook me up and motivated me to do something.<br \/>\n<strong>I don&#8217;t want to be quite anymore!<\/strong> because that small amount of uncomfortable feelings is nothing compared to what the animals have to go through when they get killed against their will.<br \/>\nToday I learnt that <strong>we already have reached the critical mass of vegan people<\/strong>, so that we could seriously start to create change. <strong>But most vegans are silent.<\/strong> They don&#8217;t dare to speak up for the animals. I can relate, I was like that too. I can only ask to look into this subject again and again. And to remember why we chose to live a vegan lifestyle and what we want to achieve with it.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7555\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7555\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theveganmonster.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Vegan-Christmas.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7555\" src=\"https:\/\/theveganmonster.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Vegan-Christmas.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" title=\"\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7555\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vegan food can be so colourful and full of flavour<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This is why<strong> I decided not to compromise anymore<\/strong>.
