My Belief

For a long time I was ashamed of being vegan, I knew it was the rite choice so I never gave up on it. I came across the “Vegan Freak” podcast one day and quickly became addicted to the show. At this time I was only vegetarian, I knew milk and cheese came from a cow but I never realized that these products came from the same animals that suffered in the slaughterhouse videos I have seen that turned me off to meat in the first place. I am to sad to say I was blinded by all of the propaganda that organizations like Peta was feeding me I didn’t think twice about all of the dairy I was eating, all I knew is that I loved the taste of it.

Some say “its to hard to hard to go vegan” or “I could never live without cheese”, well I am saying how would you know if you don’t try it. I went vegan “cold tofu” I just gave it up and I don’t miss it nor do I think being vegan is hard at all. Yeah in the beginning from time to time it got to be a little annoying when you have to read every label but after time you know what you can and cant eat. Thats not what veganism is all about I feel that I have a moral obligation to the animals not to eat them, I know the cruelty, pain, and exploitation all the animals go through to become to become food.

My whole personality, all of my thoughts and beliefs are summed up in one word. Vegan. Vegan says I will not participate in the exploitation of animals, I will not eat them, I will not wear them, and I will not treat them as things. The problem is in our society is we are obsessed with food, every holiday, famaily gathering or pretty much any other social event involves the eating the flesh of a murdered animal. There was a time when I stopped seeing meat as food, now I see chicken as a living breathing….. Chicken.

Im not in any way saying im better then any one and I am not saying that my thought process is more developed. All I am saying is a good tasty meal is not worth all of the pain and suffering the animals go through for it to become your meal. You must reconsider if what you are having for dinner really matches your moral beliefs, we must stop the exploitation of animals.

Animals are not property, they have a rite to live, be happy and enjoy life.
