Florence is a nurse shark who lives in an aquarium in Birmingham, UK. She's a strict vegetarian. Even when her caretakers wrap fish in lettuce, she turns away from it. Instead, she competes with other herbivores for plants:
Florenceās mouth is filled with razor-sharp, serrated teeth designed for demolishing fish and crustaceans.
Instead she uses them for pulping broccoli and cabbage and any other greens she can steal from fellow ocean tank resident Molokai the green turtle.
I suspect that she simply hasn't encountered bacon yet.

I'm glad that you're passionate about a political/social/moral issue. So am I. There are plenty of appropriate venues for discussing them, but Neatorama isn't among them. So I bite my tongue, and I suggest that you do likewise.
Imagine that you're at a cocktail party. We're all mingling while sipping wine and nibbling on hors d'oeuvres. We chat about light, fun topics -- Star Wars climbing holds and whatnot. Then you whip out pictures of animals being brutalized and show them off.
You may hold some sort of moral high ground, but you've chosen the wrong time to mount it.
