Glendora Vegetarian Club
Did you look them in the eye? Who? The ones you handed check out to be clubbed and slaughtered. No? Why not? I’m ashamed. Why? Because of the cruelty they were subjected to from birth. I took them away from their mothers. I took their milk away from them. I took away their freedom. I put them in dirty enclosures all their lives – enclosures rancid with urine and feces. I took away their fresh air and sunshine. I took away their babies. I forced them with an electric prod in the rectum to get them into a smelly truck. I beat them into a slaughterhouse, tearing limbs from their bodies. Then I cut their bloody bodies into pieces and ate them. I paid money to do all this.
