Why I'm Vegan!
1) I have known too many wonderful animals (including so-called "farm" animals, like cows, chickens, pigs, horses, etc) to condone eating them, causing their suffering, or indirectly supporting those who perpetuate animal suffering. Even if I hadn't known any personally, it's still senseless to treat animals as property and resources, and to deny their sentience.
2) I find my vegan diet healthier, less expensive, and more enjoyable than any omnivorous diet.
3) I think factory farms, which constitute the largest source of all animal products, are evil. I have seen them. I think their continued existence is morally indefensible. Unfortunately, partaking of almost any animal product (this includes meat, dairy, leather, fur, wool, gelatine, some glue, and many, many more) probably supports factory farming.
4) It's awesome!
I live with an omnivore but I'm hoping to have a good influence on him. I am like the sea: what I cannot sweep away with force, I will slowly erode with time. Mwa-ha-ha!
