As a result of becoming aware of animal cruelty, Mike became a vegan. He read books and learned much about the many different ways in which people mistreat animals. He dedicated himself to helping animals in need: especially those living in horrible conditions under the control of humans.

He used the traditional, non-violent methods to try to change hearts and minds about the way we treat animals, but, when that failed, he realized he needed to become the first real animal liberation soldier.

Mike, now Veganman, led by blogging. Activist computer experts made sure his blog was virtually invisible to anyone who hadn’t been authorized to see it. Veganman blogged to help any animals that needed it. He also commanded his soldiers to liberate animals and punish any humans who got in the way. The liberated animals traveled to spacious sanctuaries where they would be taken care of by real animal lovers.

The activists turned the tables on people who abused, or paid others to harm animals. Needed funding, they robbed people who had made considerable sums of money at the expense of animals. What began with one man became a revolution.
