Also, 95% of chronic illnesses, if you look at the cause of the illnesses, are diet related.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the campaign footage was displayed on screens to the public to educate the community about \u201canimal exploitation\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese animals are not treated well; they are given hormones and live in very bad conditions and then they are killed. We eat that and think it is okay. It\u2019s not okay, it is killing us as we are killing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMeat and dairy are killing us, so we have to be a little more conscious of what we are putting into our bodies and how we are treating these sentient beings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cupido, who has been a vegan for seven years, says it is important to be the voice of the voiceless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnimals are sentient beings and just like us have central nervous systems so they feel pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSentient beings mean they can feel pain the way we do, they have emotions and I think they also deserve to be happy like we do. If you take a baby calf away from its mother, it cries just like we would cry, so let\u2019s have a heart and be the voice of the
