Tell us about your journey to veganism.
I’ve always loved animals. As a child, I was obsessed with saving insects and all kinds of creatures and felt horrible every time I saw any animal suffering. As a teenager, I knew that it was very hypocritical to eat animals while wanting their safety and happiness, so I knew that at some point I would stop doing it. It was in 2012, at the age of 19 when I read about an investigation that Animal Naturalis (animanaturalis.org/es) conducted in a rabbit farm here, in Spain. What I read shocked me so deeply, that I decided to become a vegetarian at that exact moment. One year later, and after reading the book Why we love dogs, eat pigs and wear cows, I became vegan.
