Just curious to see if I'm alone in my support for animal liberation. I became a vegetarian four years ago for health reasons, and after about 6 months I went vegan and haven't looked back. My reason/s for abstaining from animal products has evolved to include compassion towards animals.(Whereas I went vegetarian for health reasons only.)
It's been over three years since I've consumed any animal products and my health has improved to say the least. When people ask me about being vegan, they tend to show complete and utter ignorance towards what it entails. I have grown in my sincerity, and have become more and more fed up with modern industrial methods of farming. I fully support the actions of such organizations as the animal liberation front, and it is with vehement passion that I opposed animal abuse. I am not shy about my militance, and I embrace and express it through music. I do not expect anyone to share my fierce passion and hatred against the food industry, but I am curious if anyone else here is vegan or veg. Animals are sentient creatures, and they should not be subjected to the degradation, torture and abuse that our species puts them through. I'm not religious, so I will not accept the argument that God put other species here for us, although If I was a believer I would think that God would find factory/fur farming (etc.) a vile abuse of his creation. Moby talks about veganism. Being a vegan is easier than one would think, and as time progresses it becomes second nature. The variety of foods I eat has grown immensely since becoming vegan. I never would of guessed, but there is a plethora of options out there. This post has been edited by PietroChocko: Feb 24 2009, 06:50 PM
