I signed a pledge to go 100% vegan for at least 30 days. At first, I didn't think I could do it, but figured "what the hell. I can try."

Now, after watching a bunch of videos and reading up on a lot of information, I think I can go vegan for 30 days and, possibly, much, much longer.

This probably isn't news to some people, but check out my MySpace page and watch the videos in the "General" section of My Interests. Also, check out the links in the "About Me" section for some more vids.

I warn you though, the videos are quite graphic - especially the one for banning wool. That one has caused me a great bit of discomfort.

While we are called the "Wildlife Conservation Guild," all life is important, whether wild or not.

Oh, my gosh.
I'm going to be sick.

I'm putting this on my myspace as well.

I used to think I'd never be able to handle being a vegetarian.
Ha, I'll try veganism out for a couple weeks now...

I failed. It's really hard, having grown up eating meat every day, to just stop. So, I will minimize the amount of meat that I consume and, maybe, one day I will cross that line and become a real vegetarian.

Thanks..I've made it since I read the post so far.
One day. XD
I think I'll just try for 2 weeks as a vegetarian to start, then keep increasing the time until I can stop completely...
Then do the same to become vegan.
It's easier to become a vegetarian, because every time I see meat, I think of those sheep getting their throat sliced and skinned...
But with milk and stuff, it's not as closely related, it's easier not to think of the suffering the animals go through for it.

Meh, I never really saw any need to turn vegan myself. But If that's what you want to try, then go for it.
