Meatless Mouthful: Mac Danzig’s Moment With A Pig

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, February 9th, 2009 in Athletes-Games-Sports, Meatless Mouthful.

“I remember being 13 and seeing a truck on the interstate filled with pigs all headed to the slaughterhouse. One of them made eye contact with me for a while. It was one of the saddest moments I can remember. There was so much intelligence and spirit in him, and here he was, being sent to an awful death.”
—-Ultimate Fighter Mac Danzig, in an statement about his early experiences in life that led to him to become vegan. Danzig won Most Animal Friendly Athlete at the peta2.org Libby awards.
