Hi everyone,
I just thought I could make a thread on what you feel about animals, if it gets to you at some point, and you cant seem to take the critism from others or you just feel sad about how they are killed and treated. You can post here and share you feelings.
I just seemed so unhappy today thinking about all the animals killed and slaughtered. I know that I alone cannot change the world and I dont think that everyone will see how the ''meat'' on their burger was once a living breathing creature with feelings, that was cruelly killed just so they can enjoy it for a fleeting couple of minutes.
Today someone I know thought that being a vegetarian means you can still eat chicken.. I said no, it means you cannot eat any meat from an animal. I then contiuned to tell them about being a vegan... ''well that sucks'' they replied.
People just dont seem to understand why I am a vegetarian and why people are vegans. Why does society have to be so anti- vegetarian? Whenever I tell someone I'm a vegetarian no support just ''oh that must be awful'', is it so awful to be saving 90 animals lives per year?
They dont realise that the ''meat'' so neatly packaged and presented was in fact an animal. Its ''food'' and always will be classified and dismissed as such. Im constantly bombarded with animal jokes, how I cant eat meat. Well im proud that I dont eat meat. Im happy that I dont. They can critisie me all they want at least I am making a difference.
Sorry to vent just had a bad day. Feel free to post any experiences you have had as well
