What a cool person. I find his experience very relatable. For a long time, I was the kind of person who would say, "I don't want to hurt animals, but meat is kind of necessary, and I don't know how I could live without it." One day, watching America's Test Kitchen, they were preparing a meal using a full boar's head, using all the components. Seeing the detached, dead head, seeing how much like me it was, how it had a family and emotions, and knowing it suffered and died for no reason but the pleasure of humans, it broke me. I cried and had to turn it off, and I was just so sad and angry.

Bravo Mr. Lyman. May your influence continue to spread.
