Animal Rights: Paul Taylor, As of today I will no longer eat animal products…

“As of today I will never eat animal products of any kind. Never again will an animal   have to die in order to keep me alive.”

Paul Taylor

Who is Paul Taylor?

I usually try to include a link to biographical information about the author of the quote, unfortunately in the case of Paul Taylor it has proved difficult to find any conclusive information.

The above quotation originated from Animal Matters:
Quotes – Farm Animals
http://www.animalmatters.org/quotes/farm/

While it is interesting to know a little about who said what and when it makes little difference to the significance of the quotation.

Please consider the above quotation and make a commitment to change to a plant based diet and go vegan.
