Vegans make Santa’s ‘nice’ list

Thank you, Santa, for spreading compassion and cheer with your decision to go vegan! I must be on your “nice” list because I went vegan, too, and it’s the best gift I’ve ever given myself, animals, and the planet.

I made the change after learning that factory farms subject animals to lives of misery, confining them in cramped, filthy spaces where they can’t engage in natural behaviors. Plus, these operations harm the environment by emitting copious amounts of greenhouse gases and waste that pollute our waterways, destroy ecosystems, and worsen the climate catastrophe.

To anyone reading, please join Santa and me and go vegan. Together, we can create a compassionate and sustainable world and make a difference.

Wishing everyone a joyful holiday season filled with love — for all beings.
