Okay so I am vegetarian, and have been for 4+ years now. Don’t get me wrong I’m fine with anyone else eating meat, but it’s not for me. I get asked all the time why I don’t eat it and well I usually just give people half the answer “I love animals”.

So I thought that I would share my full views towards the decision I made in my adolescence.

• No animal deserves to die for MY tastebuds
• There are so many alternatives in life to survive
• A whole animal has to die, just for a meal.
• I’m against animal cruelty and I think that it takes a small person to beat a defensless animal, and it would make ME a smaller person to eat it
• No living creature wants to see their family slaughtered
• When animals feel pain, they scream too- they don’t want to die
• It’s violence we CAN stop.

And I will leave you with a quote from good old Da Vinci,

“I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men.”- Leonardo Da Vinci
