Let’s set a familiar Christmas scene. You’re sat at the dinner table, about to tuck into a delicious vegan spread, when a family member pipes up…

“You’re vegan? That must be soooo HARD! Are you not jealous of these delicious pigs in blankets? I could never be vegan.”

Well you know what makes it pretty easy to be vegan? Enjoying animals in the way we should – by appreciating them for their unbelievable cuteness, rather than as our dinner.

Share these unbearably cute animals wearing Christmas hats with your meaty (and vegan!) friends to remind them that animals are friends, not food!
