Its a Soap Box kinda day....

Its no secret how much I love documentaries...

I've talked about it here before.

Beauty & the Beast, Steven Curtis Chapman, Hugh Jackman... & documentaries.

These are a few of my favorite things....

I'm not sure how I came across the documentary "Vegucated" but somehow it crossed my path.  All it took were the words, Vegan & Challenge & I wanted to check it out.

I ended up actually finding it on YouTube to watch for free & clicked the arrow & GO...

Only I wasn't expecting what I saw ... & was reminded of...

I guess because I just came out of seeing the other documentary called SuperCharge me! which is a documentary of a lady going raw for 30 days & how it effected her body & what a raw diet can do.

Nope... not all kale & green & showgirl dreams in this one...

It was a reminder on what happens to animals as people continue to gobble them up.

I'm not posting this to point fingers & scream at anyone for being a meat eater... it's just that its so disturbing to me the truth & facts... & I honestly believe people just don't know.

Sometimes I'd rather not know the things I know...

There is one young girl who had the hardest time with the challenge because she loved meat... but then she saw what happens in all these factories - to chickens, cows, pigs, even fish - & she said, "How is this even allowed?" ...

exactly

& now, she's happily giving up meat.  She said, "How can I know this now & go back to supporting this cruel industry?"

exactly

Here she is when she saved a chicken from a 'organic chicken farm'
that still had horrible conditions

Again - no judgment anywhere...

I just sat watching this, with fingers crossing my eyes so I didn't have to really see everything that I already knew... & I cried...

Yes, I cry over animals... especially cruelty to animals.

We all jump on board when we see dogs or cats treated in cruel ways....

I just wish there were more of a passion for all animals...

Where's my PETA membership card at? :)

Stepping off my soap box...
