Hi everyone,
My name's Yvonne, I am 56 and live in Sheldon. I am vegetarian struggling to become vegan but I do have a problem with milk in coffee and I have tried all ways but soya still seems to curdle and I do have an occasional free range egg (I actually see the chickens run free so I know they are definitely free range).
I started campaigning last year when I passed an animal rights stall (Solihull Animal Aid and met a wonderful lady called Ursula whom a lot of you probably know) and for the first time realised just how terrible life was for the modern farm animal and also read a leaflet that said if you love animals how come you eat them. So I decided there and then to never eat anything with a face! I also learned about many other forms of cruelty that I had no idea was happening in the world and so I bought a computer and started to write letters etc. I also help out on stalls and collections.
Not a lot more to tell, I am married to an extremely long suffering husband! I go to the gym regularly, mostly without enthusiasm, and I am a very, very amateur artist attending college. (I know I am an extremely mature student!).
I hate all animal cruelty. I suppose if I had to chose an issue it would probably be testing on animals for make-up which is totally unnecessary although all cruelty is totally unnecessary. I now buy all my cosmetics, toiletries and household products cruelty free.
I joined this group to find other people who felt as I do about animals.
By now you will have deduced that I am quite a sociable person and love a good chat! Thats about it.
Best wishes
Yvonne
