Position
Animalism Party Founder/Representative
Self-introduction
I was a child who loved birds and animals, reading Seton’s Animal Book, looking at picture books, and drawing pictures of animals.
Growing up, I knew a little bit about what was happening to animals when I ate them or wore them, but I pretended not to see them.
But one day, when I saw the movie”Earthlings", I was forced to realize what was happening to animals and what I was doing to them. I was so shocked that I cried all night, and from that day on, I became a vegan. Currently, we are working to realize the goal ofanimal liberation.”
