One day, he sent me this message: “Although initially annoying, your posts have changed the way I look at what I eat. I have now gone mostly vegan. Thank you.” Anyone can change – even the trolls! – Joelle Vann

Lots of stores have alphabet letters for sale. I like to rearrange them to leave a pro animal message, such as

I give vegan cookies, brownies, and cupcakes as gifts. When I tell people that the treats are vegan, they’re always intrigued and ask about the recipes. (And they always love them!) – Melanie Johnson

salad, andmore. His family consumes a lot of meat,

so I was nervous, but it turned out so well! Since then, one brother and cousin have gone vegan – and two other cousins have gone vegetarian. Cooking for people is a great way to show them that they won’t miss out by making kind choices! – Olivia Charlton

“FUR HURTS,” “DUMP DOWN,” or whatever there are enough letters to spell out! – Heidi Parker
