Protect the microbes...
Hans, the Forest Fairy, stood rooted to the spot, speechless and unsure of what to do.
He could advocate for protecting animals, not only abstaining from meat himself but also demanding that others do the same—any vehicle transporting livestock had to be stopped and vandalized, and any shop selling meat had to be burned down.
He could also advocate for protecting plants, telling everyone to avoid vegetables grown in fields (as cultivation was a form of oppression against plants) and to only consume fruits from forest trees that could regenerate without harming the seeds.
But microbes... how could they be protected? Every second, unseen by the naked eye, billions of bacteria were born and died; with every move made, countless microbes perished.
It was simply impossible to protect them!
