Hello! I don't have an exact age that I became veg but I can tell you its been a loooong time! I wanted to be a vegetarian when I was a kid but my parents had the philosophy that everyone needs meat, potatos, and milk for supper each and every day. I hated eating it though because I loved all animals so much. I was always connecting with animals and had my own that meant the world to me and from a very young age never understood how killing a helpless animal could ever be justified. I also did not understand why some people could say they, for example, that they loved their dog but could turn around and eat meat without caring about the life that was lost. As I got older and become completely veg I also did my research and began realizing how huge animal cruelty is and since became an activist as well. I do not think we are anywhere remotly near a point where as a whole, humans are treated with respect. It horrilble how much information you an find in a short period of time and how animal cruelty surrounds us.
