Sir,

Does the vegan identify themselves with the animal? Consider that they proclaim themselves as a species that eats plants? Or have they got it all wrong?

Listening to the radio there was a programme about plant research 'Do plants communicate with each other?' – they stated data from American, Israeli and European universities and from research the conclusion was, yes they do!

The vegan on the other hand, especially the zealots that get airtime from various TV outlets, are well educated, well fed and come from the idle rich. They spread the message that inflames the stupid to do stupid things – a form of agricultural terrorists, they themselves are never involved.

One must also consider that those producers of TV are to be held responsible for the terrible crimes and harassment to farmers that their only crime is to produce food for the masses, by giving a platform to fanatics!

Has the responsible vegan been poisoned by chemical nerve agent produced by Monsanto, that dulls the senses and throws caution to the wind, by allowing this rabble to form under their banner?

If you want to eat grass, eat grass, if I want to eat animal products, I have the same rights as you.

Sadly our World revolves on a strange edict: "I can do it but you can't".

So when plants are cut they have a feeling. They scream but we don't hear them. Think, vegans, the suffering you cause. There is only one way to stop this suffering.

Starve.
