Erin Ersoy, Eilan Keister
 

Despite heartfelt attempts by animal rights activists and vegans claiming that the issue on animal rights should not be politicized, the issue on animal rights is one of the most inherently political justice issues we have yet to face.

The food system is rigged to benefit Big Animal Agriculture no matter what. Our vegan consumerism isn`t saving animals, Big Animal Agriculture uses our tax dollars to pay for the product we won`t purchase. Learn why this is happening, how this is happening, and what we need to do next...
