Here is a post remembering E. L. Pratt, \u00a0John Maxwell &amp; Symon Gould &#8211; \u00a03 very focused US &amp; British veg-evangelizers &#8211; active in the 1930s, 1940s &amp; 1950s. Wonderfully extreme! They each exhibited \/ practiced full-on veg-enthusiasm. Plus we will share 3 related circa 1947 Cinderella stamps promoting vegetarianism. They are being lovingly cared for in the Ernest Bell Library. &#8230;&#8230; &#8220;Many meat-eating persons resent this, but a moment&#8217;s consideration should prove the truth of it.

Flesh-eating man is.&#8221; &amp; &#8220;Temperance-workers, peace-advocates, anti-vivisectionists, mothers, or any of the other millions of well-meaning workers in the world &#8211; all wasting energy in\u00a0hitting at nothing\u00a0unless they aim at the root of the thing that contaminates our world to-day more than any other one thing, &#8211; the consumption of animal flesh.&#8221; &#8211; both from &#8211; E.
