At the end of your piece tonight about Joaquin Phoenix's speech in which he told the cruel truth about dairy farming, Hilary dismissively said, "I'm sure he wears a leather belt, leather shoes .... these people pick and choose, don't they". What ignorant nonsense. Joaquin Phoenix is a committed vegan, and no vegan would wear animal products. The dairy farmer himself, portrayed as a nice guy, may show us 'happy' cows chewing the cud, but will surely know that they're not so happy when they have their new born male calves taken away to be killed.
