My name is Nikki and I approaching my 4th year as a vegan in July 2017. I started getting active back in 2014 when I discovered Toronto Pig Save in 2013. I was previously helping out with spay and neuter clinics  in Mexico for cats and dogs where I felt called to do and help more for animals. For a while I was following what Toronto Pig Save was doing and at the time I was living in another city and I wanted to get involved. Shortly after moving to Burlington I learned that there was a slaughterhouse in the city I had connected with Anita  and she put me in contact with a group that was holding vigils in Burlington Ontario at Fearmans. I connected with one of the organizers at the time and she told me about the next vigil and I went to bear witness and have been since.  So now every week I go to bear witness to the pigs on there way to slaughter. However I have gone to Toronto to be there with the chickens, and cows as well.

Since getting involved with the save movement, I also have attended various other demos and events. I have participated in National Animal Rights Day in Toronto in 2015, March to end all slaughterhouses, Fur awareness Demos, Empty the tanks, and other events too. 

I created The Gentle Vegan as a place to gain information and to help others to see how EASY it is to live vegan. Just like organic produce has reached  your everyday markets, so are vegan and more compassionate products. We can still eat what we want to, not harm others, and still thrive. I wanted to provide a corner, a place to make it accessible and easy for you to get the information you need and help you on your direction to a more beautiful and compassionate life.
