I'm vegetarian, and I'm going to be vegan, for compassion for animals first, and then for sustainability.
Whatever the reason for choice, it's the right choice :))
growing up around farms, i knew exactly where the "meat" came from. was given a rifle at the age of 8 or 9 to go hunting and just couldn't shoot the squirrels (yes people eat squirrel, especially around the great lakes states where i grew up) and i threw down my rifle. the only time i picked up a gun again was for target practice - on cans and other inanimate objects.
used to the meat from my dinner plate into napkins (pretending to wipe my mouth) which would end up in my jeans pockets and you can bet the dogs sure loved me!
while my diet's lacto ovo, in a perfect world i wish there was no harming of any animals or suffering of any kind with anyone, human or otherwise.
