I've been Vegetarian since 2006. Why? Well it was because of things like -
1/ Discovering meat didn't taste so good nowadays.It's not natural. It's forced grown with chemicals and antibiotics in hell houses called factory farms
2/ Discovering the terrible cruelty to farm animals like cattle, pigs, sheep and poultry in factory farms and slaughter houses. The killing is so uncivilised I just do not want to be a part of it.
3/ Discovering that all these animals and more actually have feelings the same as us. They have central nervous systems and have surprising intelligence and emotions. They feel fear and pain, pleasure and joy. They are sentient beings.
4/ Discovering meat production is one of the world's biggest polluters and wasters of water.
5/ Discovering meat and diary products are not good for your health and can in fact cause illnesses.
It was when I saw how slaughterers were killing cattle and sheep that I made the final decision to be a vegetarian.The killing was so horrific, bloody and cruel that I could not bear it. My heart went out to those fellow animals who shivered and moaned in terror as they watched their brothers and sisters slowly slaughtered, battered and beaten and in front of them.
I will never eat the flesh of other animals again as long as I live and I will do my best to stop the cruelty.
The fancy names we give to meat like rump steak, sirlion, chops, T-bone, hamburger, kebab - it's all bullshit. It's actually all just dead animal flesh, dead beings that died in terror.
