Yet I have to remind myself that it wasn’t me who killed this deer. A car did. Cars aren’t vegan. Phones aren’t vegan. Plastic tubs of vitamins aren’t vegan. Chickpeas, soya and hemp seeds – none of it is vegan, not really. It’s all the harvest of a political ideology which is causing the sixth mass extinction of species, one which is wiping out one habitat after the next, polluting rivers, soil, oceans and every breath of atmosphere as it spreads.
