Going vegan or VEGETARIAn

Why go vegan/vegetarian?

We love animals and are happy to have people like you who support them in any way that you can. Whether it's adopting, donating, or just sharing your adorable animal pictures with us, we appreciate you! You are not required to be an animal rights activist to hang with us at TCPM.

But since you're probably on our site because you love animals and you agree that too many animals are euthanized in shelters around the world each year it's worth mentioning that 98% of animals that suffer at human hands are those that end up on our plate.

This section is not meant as an attempt to ostracize anyone who eats meat or to preach a mantra. As non-meat eaters ourselves we simply want to provide further resources for anyone who is considering a similar journey. If you are contemplating a reduction in your animal consumption please feel free to reach out to us, we are happy to help!

Where do I start?

There is no right or wrong time to start reducing your animal consumption and there is no correct place to begin, though we suggest you start by watching Texas Chain Saw Massacre;) Start where you feel comfortable. Maybe you want to do Meatless Mondays or make every lunch plant-based. Maybe you're thinking about ditching red meat first or you don't want to eat veal anymore. It's better to ease into a new lifestyle than jump in and fail so take your time and start wherever feels right for you!

Convince me

We're not here to convince you to go vegan just like we can't convince you that Snakes on a Plane is a genius film we saw 5 times in theatres (though it's true). But we're happy to make documentary, book, and horror movie recommendations that might help inform your decision and of course, chat with you about it.
