As I turned vegan I became more aware of how much of an effect each individual can have on the future of our planet. I learned what happens in Slaughterhouses on an international scale and I've seen footage and witnessed suffering that I can never unsee. I have learned how animals are treated in abattoirs and the impact that animal agriculture can have on our health and on our planet. I'm a member of two Animal Rights groups - Save Movement Scotland and The Earthlings Experience Scotland. Save Movement Scotland bare witness to animals going to slaughter and take footage to raise awareness and encourage others to change their lifestyle, while documenting the condition that animals are in and the way that they are treated in and outside of slaughterhouses. Members of the The Earthlings Experience show footage of the documentary 'Earthlings' to the public to raise awareness of normal practices throughout the UK. Allow me to take you on my journey.
