I always love hearing about how people got into animal rights. For me, it was discovering how animals are raised for food. Lots of people just always loved animals. But how can someone go from being scared of animals to rescuing them and campaigning for them?
That's exactly what happened to New York activist, Eddie Lama. To find out how someone can make such an incredible transformation, check out this great doco (called "The Witness") about his inspiring story.
(Btw, you can watch the full doco online here. So once you've checked out the trailer below, grab some popcorn and a friend to watch the full film! And just be warned that while most of the doco is inspiring and positive, there are a few graphic scenes.)

So what did you think? Feeling inspired? Now tell me... How did you get into animal rights?

I sort of slid into animal rights. I didn't have an explicit *reason* to go vegetarian: it just intuitively felt like something I needed to do. From there I found Unleashed, watched Earthlings, Meat the Truth and the Gary Yourofsky Georgia Tech lecture, and within a month I wanted to be vegan. Of course, it took about a year for me to talk my parents around to it, but now I'm very comfortable in my veganism and it feels pretty much second nature to me.
