Screenshot of a tweet by user VicToria April Perry (@ToriAprilPerry_) replying to @VeganForLifeNZ and @LuckIntolerant. The tweet reads: “I'm not a vegan and I'm not afraid to say it. Idc who says im wrong for not being vegan. Animals deserve consideration. But it's not like these animals are being killed while alive. They're already dead.” Timestamp: 21:47 · 07 Jan 19 · Twitter for Android. The tweet has 3 retweets and 2 likes.
