Recently on the Awesome Vegans Influencer Series with Elysabeth Alfano, famed Rock Star Richard Marx and long-time Model and Business Woman Daisy Fuentes reveal in a moment of unguarded emotion why they don’t eat fish.
Richard explains that after seeing the grief and cries coming from a pod of whales when their baby is stolen during the movie Blackfish, “My heart broke….and that was the moment I said, ‘I’m done.”
Daisy explains how on a family fishing trip she could visibily see the large Marlin her father was trying to catch fight for its life. As the struggle continued, more and more fish were jumping with the Marlin. She shares how she could see this “giant, beautiful Creature” wrestle for his life as he got close to the boat. Teary-eyed and voice shaking, she continues, “I am getting emotional just talking about it…I went downstairs (in the boat) and bawled my eyes out. And that’s when I realized, oh my God, we’re doing it all wrong.”
