[.Ciara.Chi.] Butterflyz Spirit I've been brought up a vegetarian, and when my friends ask why I'm one I have to tell them thats all I've ever known. They try to throw the moral stuff at me about not wanting to hurt the baby animals, but to be honest, I don't really care about people eating animals as we've done that throughout history, we're top of the food chain right? Although I do plan on trying meat, I see no need to change my diet as I'm perfectly healthy as it is :]
It's probably why I'd never even TRY to convince another person to be vegetarian/vegan.
Just because we're on the top of the food chain doesn't mean it's okay for us to treat animals like s**t, to be frank.
I try to convince people to go veg*n for the same reasons people convince people to do something about genocide, violence, & war - because living creatures suffer.

I've heard of some ridiculous things that happen around the world and it drives me nuts, because people are so caught up in the little things that they don't see the big picture. For example, if you adopt a pet in the U.K., they do a standard checking to see if your residence is big enough for the animal, not you. Not even the children or the other people in the house. The pet comes first.
Different people fight for different things. You fight for ending animal strife and you fight against cruelty, as well as against cruel animal deaths.
I fight for for those children starving in Africa. I fight for protecting the world from ending because our layers are thickening so much that our children may not live to see their children.
I'm not saying your fight isn't as important as the ones that serve to help suffering PEOPLE, but they are on two colossally different levels, when it comes to whose life comes first.
Our world is shitty right now, and I'd like to start where it's shittiest.
Some argue that animals are more important to them than people are, but that's their preference, not mine. As much as I dislike people sometimes, I see it as "if I can't fight for my own people, why should I fight for another species?"
I don't want to see my family and my friends in that same situation. If not for me or for other people, I fight for those I love, because that's who I am and you are who you are.
But again, my view of the world is different from yours, obviously.

This is the saddest thing I've ever heard. I will NEVER eat pork again, I might have if I hadn't watched that sad video on GoVeg.
