Either that or take them to a slaughterhouse!

To be honest, I don't think there's any one surefire method to convince people. Most find graphic images of slaughter offensive rather than educational. And I must confess that I didn't have any emotional reaction to watching slaughterhouse footage until well
after I started eating a vegan diet. This isn't a matter of being a bad person, it's just that some people (like myself) are wired differently to not feel as many emotions or as strongly. (No water signs in this poster's chart!)
I started
logically reevaluating my views and practices after watching [a VICE documentary on
the Yulin dog festival which didn't take a sensationalistic approach like most vegan materials do. When people ask me why I do what I do, I send them this video first, because it really puts the Western view of animal slaughter in perspective.
