Why Did You Go Vegan?
Deborah
I always loved animals as a child, but like most
I wasn't fully aware of just how cruel and evil
the slaughtering process of animals really is.

For me it was a combination of things, that made
me rethink my lifestyle. The internet certainly
opened my mind up about the pain and suffering
animals endure. After reading about it, I couldn't
ignore it any longer. Each time I walked into our
local BBQ chicken shop, I grew more and more guilty
about eating there knowing how much those animals
went through. Just so I could eat dinner! I started
to feel their pain, hear their cries and I just
couldn't do it any longer. I wanted to do the right
thing and so I did, I stopped eating meat. Not only
that, I became more conscious of every living
thing around me. I stopped buying leather, I give
money to animal organizations, I only buy products
that don't test on animals. I volunteered my time
at shelters. I never kill insects. I never use any
pesticides that would harm the animals and other
living things. I have became terribly sensitive to
all living things that I think it drives some people
nutty but I don't care. We are humans who in a lot
of people's opinion are the intelligent species. So
let's do the intelligent thing by respecting and
protecting the lives of all creatures great and
small.
