Why Eva Hall is vegan

Eva Hall went vegetarian at the age of 14, in a period of her life when she was discovering a lot of new vegan straight-edge punk bands. It was the Rudimentary Peni song ‘Pig in a Blanket’ that had the most impact and convinced her to stop eating meat. Although she didn’t know about veganism at that point, it wasn’t long until she made the switch once she learned more about animal exploitation.

“My choice to stay vegan is because I feel too much of a connection with animals to bring myself to consume them. I don’t want to consume parts and products of a violent, needless death. My veganism is an act of solidarity with them, since they are so exploited in our anthropocentric world, that it’s just a slap in their face to participate in their killing and consumption in this society.” ¹Mittens XVX. 2022.
