PRINCE was vegan (in purple print)

He refused to"eat anything with parents," because "Thou shalt not kill' means just that!"
He refused to wear anything made from an animal because" Compassion is an action word with no boundries"
He believed that "We're all members of the animal kingdom. Leave your brothers and sisters in the sea"
