Joaquin Phoenix is a vegan and a big fighter for animal rights.
One thing that many people don’t think about is how our non-plant food is actually killed.
No, we’re not talking about slaughter houses├óΓé¼┬ª we’re talking about fish!
All over the world, tons of fish are pulled from the ocean every day and suffocate outside of the water in a traumatic death.
Joaquin can related, having learned about this cruelty from a young age, saying:
“My family and I were on a boat, catching fish. As one fish was caught, he was writhing, then he was thrown against the side of the boat. You couldn├óΓé¼Γäót disguise what it was. This was what we did to animals to eat them. The animal went from a living, vibrant creature fighting for life to a violent death. I recognized it, as did my brothers and sisters.”
That sounds just awful but you can tell how caring and sensitive of a person he was, even as a kid.
Check out the PETA video (above) to see Joaquin live through what thousands upon thousands of fish go through every day.
