BRIDGET’S CHILDHOOD OF GROWING UP ON HER FAMILY’S SHEEP FARM CONSISTED OF NOT ONLY SEEING

HER PET LAMBS GO OFF TO THE FREEZING WORKS BUT ALSO WITNESSING HER FATHER AND

CONTRACTORS SLAUGHTER AND INHUMANLY HARM ANIMALS AS WELL AS WATCHING THE ANIMALS SUFFER

THROUGH EXTREME CONDITIONS SUCH AS WINTERS - MINUS ZERO DEGREE TEMPERATURES, STORMS,

DROUGHT, AND HUNGER


THROUGHOUT HER STUDIES AT HIGH SCHOOL AND AT THE UNIVERSITY OF OTAGO BRIDGET LIVED ON DAIRY

FARMS AND WITNESSED DAIRY WORKERS INCOMPETENCE PUT ANIMALS LIVES IN DANGER,

USE EXTREMELY VIOLENT TOOLS USED TO CONTROL AND CAUSE DAIRY COWS TO

SUFFER WHILE FORCEFULLY ARTIFICIALLY INSEMINATING THEM. BRIDGET ALSO WITNESSED THE ANIMALS

TRY TO SURVIVE THROUGH FREEZING WINTERS, WATER DROUGHTS, FOOD SHORTAGES AND NEW-BORN

CALVES BEING TORN AWAY FROM THEIR MUMS TO BE SHOT OR RAISED FOR FOOD - JUST TO ALLOW HUMANS

TO EAT CHEESE AND HAVE MILK IN THEIR COFFEE


ALL HER LIFE BRIDGET WITNESSED THE EXPLOITATION OF ANIMALS AND THE TRUTH BEHIND "OLD

MAC DONALD HAD A FARM" THIS INSPIRED BRIDGET TO ADAPT THE VEGAN LIFESTYLE, BECOME A VOICE FOR

 THOSE WHO DON'T HAVE ONE, AND IS CURRENTLY STUDYING ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES/POLITICAL

SCIENCES TO BECOME A POLICY ANALYST TO INSPIRE ENVIRONMENTAL AND ANIMAL FARMING POLICIES. 

BRIDGET'S LOVE FOR ANIMALS SINCE A YOUNG AGE HAS INFLUENCED HER TO BECOME AN

ENVIRONMENTALIST AND A ANIMAL ACTIVIST AND HOPES TO USE HER BLOG 'THE SUSTAINABLE EARTHLING'

 TO FURTHER ADVOCATE THE SUFFERING OF ANIMALS AND THE DEVASTATING IMPACTS OF THE ANIMAL

AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY.
