WHY & WHEN?

JUSTIN - Founder

 

"From the time I was a young child, I have had a strong empathy for animals. I remember going on a family fishing trip and being devastated when I saw a caught fish being allowed to flop around gasping for water and then cruelly stabbed

To my six-year old self, I saw the light of a beautiful creature extinguished. In my mind the fish was a little person who was someone's loved one-- someone's family member. After that experience, I could no longer eat fish and to this day, sea food repulses me and I won't even eat mock sea food."
