Ava from Minnesota said: "Did you know that if humans were killed at the same rate as animals, we'd be extinct within 17 days? This was the startling fact that influenced me to go vegan four years ago, and I haven't looked back since. My name is Ava and I have been vegetarian my whole life. I am extremely grateful for being raised with this compassionate lifestyle and I can't help but feel compelled to spread the word to as many people as possible."
