Did you choose to go vegan because of your compassion for animals? Thats the only reason I do, plus its healthy. Yeah its very hard to stick to it but I have a picture of a cow licking its calfs face clean (it obviously loves its young). Im a big sucker for big eye balls. Cows half such expressional eyes. I use to visit my relatives in Prince Edward Island in Canada and they had wild cows who just ate grass all day. I use to spend all my time with them, patting them, naming them and talking to them. They are really like massive dogs.

I think if each of us had to kill our own food before we ate it not many of us would eat meat or if we all had to take a tour through a slaughter house and see animals skinned "alive". Yes many of them are still fully conscious when they are skinned. Its just all really sad. I believe someday they will find a way to kill these animals quickly and give their short lives more comfort. Please dont tell me these animals die quickly because they dont. Imagine standing in a line watching everyone in front of you strung up by their ankles and their necks hacked open and then sent down a line as they wiggle around trying to get free.
