Animal Cruelty Index: which country ranks the worst? | Atlas & Boots
The journalist and podcaster Ezra Klein once described going vegan as like waking up from the Matrix. Once you are attuned to animal cruelty, you see it everywhere and cannot fathom how humans not just tolerate but endorse factory farming.
