France originally but an ex compulsive traveller. Spent 8 years in South East Asia before settling in Australia. I run a private dog shelter, taking in those who have nowhere else to go because they have been deemed unrehomable and in need of rehab.

Found out about Unleashed via Google while researching animal rights orgs.

Neither cake nor candy. Not a sugar freak.

Wearing an op shop oversize T-shirt and harem style pants, a lot of dog hair and slobber.

Sunshine preferred. Too much cleaning involved on rainy days : muddy paw prints throughout the house, wet kennels & bedding...+ that clingy wet dog smell !

Right now Abraxas  (Santana ... Probably shows my age) but enjoy different types of music.

7. Anything else you want to add!

Well, I guess I will give a little more information about myself and REALLY why I am here.

So a few weeks ago I came across Gary Yourofsky - a vegan animal activist. I'm sure many of you would know of him. If not - check him out, he is incredible.

I watched one of his lectures about the meat, egg and dairy industry and instantly something inside me clicked. He made so much sense, he spoke so passionately and truthfully. I had never heard anyone speak like that and I watched his videos over and over again, and they have made me believe that I NEED to be vegan.

I have never enjoyed eating meat. Never in my life. I was forced to eat meat by my parents. I would always pick it out of my meals and leave it on the plate. Even in the past few years, I have consumed as little meat as possible, and anything meat-based was never my preference for meals.

But, my boyfriend who is an avid meat-eater, unfortunately makes this difficult. He is constantly frustrated at me for refusing to eat it. Telling me that I will 'fade away' and become weak if I don't eat meat. I tell him that most serious health conditions in the world are related to eating animal products, and he tells me I don't know what I am talking about.
So that makes things hard.

I have now ditched eating animals forever. I do not consume milk, cheese or eggs. But, as I am new to the wonderful world of veganism, it can be really hard as SO many things contain "traces of...milk, cheese, etc".

But, I am going to try as hard as I can to be the best person that I can in the eyes of animals. I am going to focus on the foods that my body needs to be healthy, and eat those. Whole grains, beans, lentils, greens, fruit, veg, etc...

I know this is a lifestyle I want to have, and I am going to embrace it!

Hi, I'm new to the forum. This year my New Years resolution is to go vegan. So here I am!

Hi all, I'm Jess, vegan

1. Where are you from?
Busselton, Western Australia - a few hours south of Perth.
Anyone else on here from down south?!

I was actually trying to find a vegan nail polish brand I could get in a relatively small town, google led me to an Unleashed thread.

6. What are you listening to right now?
The Postal Service, actually.

7. Anything else you want to add!
I'd love to make some vegan friends, I don't know anyone vegan irl which is frustrating! Haha. Most of my friends and family are very supportive but the one person I recruited 'gave up'  

I guess since I'm floating around the forums, I'll put up an into post!

1. Where are you from?
Brisbane, Qld

Googling how to take action for animal rights

Yes they're all good...

I have grown up and live in Tumut NSW, Australia
2. How did you find Unleashed?
I found Unleashed when I was reaching out to find like-minded people online.
3. Cake, or candy?
Candy for sure
4. What are you listening to right now?
Martin Solveig - The Night Out (Madeon Remix)
7. Anything else you want to add!
I am a new vegan wanting to connect with like-minded and compassionate people online because I have been having a difficult time meeting other ethical vegans in my small country town. Tumut is a town where animal exploitation is normal and everyone I know wants to remain willfully ignorant.

1. Where are you from?
born and raised in Melbourne, then moved to Sydney, now in Perth.
2. How did you find Unleashed?
Googled Animals Australia and found this page.
3. Cake, or candy?
Caaaake
4. What are you wearing?
My unicorn yoga pants and a baggy tshirt.
5. Rain, hail, or shine?
All are good in their own way but I prefer the nice warm sunshine.
6. What are you listening to right now?
my kitty purring.
7. I just want to add that I'm a relatively new vegan and that other people are by far the most difficult part of it. Having social anxiety doesn't help either. Finding others who understand and agree with veganisim definitely helps. Even if they are just online.
