Vegan Okyeame Kwame makes a case for why he will never hurt an animal or plant

Ghanaian Hiplife musician, Okyeame Kwame has made a case for why he treats animals like he would treat human beings.

According to the “Made in Ghana” rapper, who revealed he’s vegetarian, he came to the realisation that animals have the same feelings as humans, hence his decision.

“I’ve been vegetarian for six years, vegan for two years. I don’t eat meat or anything from animals except honey. One day I just realized that the most important thing to me is my life and I saw the cow feels the same way. If my life is important to me, and I want to watch my children grow, and the cow and the chicken also feel the same way, then I shouldn’t eat them. I stopped” he told Giovani Caleb in a recent interview on 3FM.

Taken aback by his submission, host Giovani further asked; “So, you’re one of those people that if a snake enters your house, you’re looking at how to save it before surviving?” to which The “Rap Docta” replied;

“You know what is interesting? There are 200 species of snakes and only 20 of them bite to kill. If you look at where the eyes are, you can tell whether it is poisonous or not.”

Giovani, who could not believe Okyeame Kwame would give up his survival just to check on the species of the snake retorted;

“At that moment of survival, you’re thinking of species?” to which Okyeame Kwame gleefully answered;

“If it confronts you, then you need to save yourself, obviously. But a snake has entered your house, it’s in the kitchen, then everyone is looking for something to come and hit it?”

Okyeame Kwame added that once human beings are able to different love and fear, they’ll come to understand that everything deserves love.

“The opposite of love is not hate; the opposite of love is fear. And we fear what we don’t know. So, if you take your time to know the things that are of importance to you, you’ll have no fear. And once you have no fear, you become complete love. And once you become love, you can’t hurt people; you can’t hurt animals. Even when you’re coming to eat a plant, you know you’re hurting it and you’re sad for it,” he stated.
