Farm animals over-populated? Vegans causes deforestation?

Vegans often received answers like

" Well if you don't eat meat , the farm animals like pigs , cows , goat etc.. will be over-populated and both Vegans & Farm Animals will be taking up most of the land to plant your food! "






In my perspective ,
If there isn't any demand on meat , may i know do you think the farmers would inject artificial hormones into these poor farm animals just to increase their growth or forced them to be pregnant?

Many "non vegans " assume that Vegans and grass-grazing animals are one of the reasons why deforestation happens due to more land are needed for planting crops . Therefore, some people would think it is absolutely normal to consume " Farm animals" to balance out the eco-system and prevent them from over-populating.

Let's take a moment and think ,

How often these animals have sex and get pregnant? Animals are unlike humans when it comes to breeding . I'm pretty sure there's a certain season when animals naturally would crave that " Highness " & " Itchy-ness " to breed.  They're not horny err-day.

Honestly if human stops consuming meat , dairy , eggs and other animal product , the workers wouldn't have inject artificial hormones into these animals to increase their population or going against nature by doing cruel actions to the animals just to get them pregnant. Furthermore , if the demand of animal product decrease , the supply of it would decrease too . The workers wouldn't need to artificially breed these animals.


There's another issue I would like to clarify for some people who are not aware about veganism or mistaken Vegans as a short form of " Vegetarian " .

Here's a picture about a common misconceptions between veganism and vegetarianism.

One should not claim they're vegan yet still practice the use of any animal related product.

If a person who's eating a vegan diet but not practicing the vegan lifestyle , it is known as a " Plant-based Diet" .

Instead of saying, " I'm Vegan " ( which clearly you may not be due to you're using leather or using any animal related product etc ) you could say " My diet is plant-based " or " I consumed only plant-based food " .

In time to come, you could slowly eliminate animals related product . But how are we going to do that?
Simple. Try looking out for the " Vegan " symbol on the product you're about to purchase. If the word " Vegan " isn't stated , instead look for the word " Cruelty-free " . If both are not stated or no symbols are shown , read the ingredients or try searching up online for substitute products that are vegan :)



If you're still unsure about veganism , please do check out " Cowspiracy " to veg-ducate yourself or you could check out my other post about Veganism. I'll link them below .

Veganize me ( Apparently Henya Mania's Vegan Cook Book is called " Veganize me " too )

Goodbyes are hard to say ..

May 27th marks my very last day of working in the kindergarten.

All I could say is that I'm very lucky to be able to experience being an assistant teacher . Never would I thought this opportunity will come knocking at my door.

5 months of working in the kindergarten, not only have I taught the lil children ; They taught me many things too.  The children taught me how to be patient , handling each one of them with a different approach & they taught me how to love.

I really do have to admit that I share many great bonds & memories with some of my students. I'm not going to lie but it was very difficult for me to say goodbye. Despite their indecent & misbehave attitude , they made me found happiness .

One of my girl student really touched my heart when she asked me if I'm going to attend her birthday party today in school before I leave. I promised her and said yes .

She celebrated her "Frozen" birthday party today. Her parents done everything so beautifully for her. They even hired " Queen Elsa " to surprise her . What really touched my heart was she kept on looking at me with her happy eyes , asking me to watch the magic show and enjoy her birthday cake.  Even though her favorite Princess was there , she stills gave me most of her attention & wanting to spend a few more time with me before I leave.

She left a few minutes earlier than me since her grandmother was in school to celebrate her birthday , her grandma requested to take her home early. I thought I may not have a chance to say a proper goodbye to her.

When I was about to leave , I saw her waiting with her siblings & maid at the lobby. I gave her my very last hug & took pictures with her. As I enter the car, I said my goodbye. I don't know why but her eyes could speak. Her eyes was filled with sadness & she wanted to rush down the staircase and give me another hug. At that moment, I cried but I didn't want her to see my sadness. My mom was in the car too and she wanted to cry as she saw her sad little face. That's something very special about the little girl .

Honestly, I've never met such sweet , understanding , lovely little 4 year old girl . She really made me so touched.. <3


As I say my goodbye to the children,  I received are their lovely hugs and kisses . Words honestly can't describe these beautiful children . They're all very special & unique in their own ways .
Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to guide you little angels for the past few months.  May the Lord bless them with so much Love , Happiness, Positivity & Good health .
