An English man who inherited a farm from his late father has decided to turn the farm vegan.
Jay Wilde, 60, spent his whole life raising cattle on a 172-acre farm in Derbyshire, England. Wilde continued to the family business after inheriting the land a few years back, but as a vegetarian, he found the process of raising animals for slaughter very difficult.
“We did [our] best to look after them, but you knew you were going to betray them,” he told iNews. “You really couldn’t look them in the eye.”
“People choose to fool themselves by saying, ‘they’re only animals, they don’t know what’s happening.’ But I’m sure they do.”
So, Jay and his wife Katja sent the majority of their 70 cattle to an animal sanctuary to live out their lives in peace.
