The biggest heist in history

The Animal Industry, which includes anyone benefiting financially from animal products, comprises huge numbers of people, each interdependent, in every country on Earth. Add to their number the customers (who ‘benefit’ from their products) and you have a combined total that makes up just about everybody. Each has a vested interest in the animal industry. Vegans are the only ones NOT to have.
For vegans to attempt to draw large numbers of people away from that ‘interest’, towards a whole other way of seeing and doing things, might seem like a daring heist indeed. Some would say an impossible task. And yet with some sort of instinctive nose for the future, this is precisely what today’s vegans are attempting to pull off. Namely the biggest heist in history.
There are certain indications that it might just work. We don’t have to be secret, we don’t have to be illegal and the whole heist can be very up-front. But it depends on vegans working steadily in the same direction and for us to use our most creative imaginations.
We do know a few things about the changes to come – they will be thorough. The animal advocate is not only aiming to change people’s eating habits but introduce them to a world of ‘facing-up & dealing-with’. The essential nature of change is so obvious it hardly needs explaining – the horror of what’s going on, the health implication to humans and the amount of waste brought about by today’s lifestyle habits. It’s something we must all, at some stage, have to confront. Vegans simply have to turn on a couple of taps and the water will flow of its own accord. The heist will have taken place before people have even noticed anything has changed about them.
