When you think of NHL enforcers, words like articulate, thoughtful, and vegan may not spring to mind. But check out this CBC interview with retired NHL star Georges Laraque:
This started a year and a half ago, once I became vegan. I saw a documentary that was called EARTHLINGS
. When I saw that I decided instantly to become vegan, and I started doing conferences around Montreal, talking to hundreds of people about animals, about health and how the animal industry is affecting our health, and talking about the environment.
Throughout the interview Laraque comes across as a smart, humble guy who wants to make a difference in the world.
It’s exciting to see another guy who, like Mike Tyson, made millions from his fists come out as a strong advocate for animal protection. Link.
