==Personal life==
When he was five or six year old he lived in the countryside and in the summer a farmer would come around with a tractor and flatbed trailer and all the local kids in the area would go onto the trailer and the farmer would take them to a potato field to pick potatoes. At the time his mom didn't let him go by himself because she thought he was too young, luckily his sister was old enough to go and she said she'll look after him. At some point during the morning everybody stopped to have a drink, sometime during the drink in the corner of his eye he saw that the farmer's sons who were teenagers were kicking a football. He quickly realized that something was wrong, everytime they kicked the ball there was screams and yells, it transpired that they had caught a little bunny and put it in a potato sack and that they proceeded to kick the bunny to death. When he got home he cried because he was traumatized by what he had seen.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWsaWZ_0uwo He gave up pork when he was under the age of 10, he later gave up many stuff like red meat when he was a teenager, at 19 he became a vegetarian. At the age of 43 he was sitting in work and flicking through the internet and he came across a famous speech by vegan activist Gary Yourofsky which inspired him to go completely vegan.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJhepNRotuw
==Activism==
In his early videos his method of vegan activism was to hold a sign saying "what is speciesism" and than he would have conversations with bystanders, trying to convince them to be vegan. These days he has two common methods for activism, one is holding a sign saying "it is totally okay for humans to abuse animals for pleasure". the other method is having a sign behind him usually saying something along the lines of "animal lovers take our quick survey" or, more recently, holding a sign saying "share your thoughts on animal abuse" where he will ask them three questions about animals. The first question is "do you love animals?", the second is "what do you think of people who abuse animals?", and in the third question he asks the people if they consume animal products and if they are vegan.
