Foie Gras in Shops – Wasn’t It Made Illegal?
Today I went shopping at Mercadona in Madrid, Spain. Looking at a 2.50 Euro piece of Foie Gras I wondered “wasn’t this made illegal in Europe?”. Here’s what happened: The UN Food and Agriculture Organisation has condemned force-feeding, stating that it raises “serious animal welfare issues.” The Czech Republic, Italy, Germany and other European countries banned the production…
LAB MEAT NOW
Here to stop animal cruelty by speeding up the transition to clean meat grown from cells.
This is how it all started…
I am the founder of 2HEX.com. In 2020, 2HEX had a big office facing a street in south China. That street had homeless cats, dogs and sometimes birds. Newborn animals were regularly killed by cars; older animals died from disease and hunger. It was something I couldn’t ignore on my way to work every day, so I first started feeding the newborns of a starving dog. One day neighbours were having one of the dog’s puppies I had fed over the last weeks for lunch. I almost cried seeing the fried puppy, its siblings shivering watching the spectacle, and their mother staying strong and trying to calm them down.
Shortly after my team and I took the mother and all its young into our office. From there the number of lost animals finding shelter in our office kept growing.. dogs, cats and birds just to name a few…
I was haunted by the thought of how all these animals had such a deep soul, and how most likely the souls of the animals I ate everyday, those of chicken, cows, and pigs, can’t be any different. Especially, because I raised a hatchling that was barely bigger than half of my little finger with which I bonded the strongest. Since it had to be fed every 20 minutes, I spent every moment with the bird, every moment of every hour of every day. I taught it how to eat by itself, how to haunt for worms, and how to fly. Not only did the bird feel like I was its parent, but I felt like the bird was my young. It was so tiny, the brain couldn’t have been any bigger than half of a pea, and yet its soul and love were infinite.
I crave meat, and I feel guilty eating it knowing that a chicken might likely have as big of a soul as my bird.
I felt I must save these beautiful souls to never be born into factories and slaughter houses. Therefore I took off, to go on this journey that I am on since. And I am sure I will find like-minded people along the way that I can help and that can help me. So that together we can speed up the transition from slaughtered animals to clean meat and meat alternatives.
This is how my journey started.
