Why Vegan?

• All animals are intelligent, feel emotions and can suffer. They can feel pain and fear.
• Animals are often raised in unhealthy conditions and they are usually products of a violent and inhumane industry.
• Tasting of meat isn’t worth supporting factory farming and the killing and the abuse of animals.
• I feel that I am in the best state of health being vegan. I don’t feel sick or have my usual allergies.
• I love adding more fruits and vegetables to my diet. They taste so good.
• I do not desire to eat animal products.
• Domestic animals for food are often treated like lifeless things and abused without restriction. They are procedurally abused, acts that would otherwise be considered animal cruelty: animals are castrated, chickens are de-beaked, animals get their tails get cut off, pigs get their teeth ripped out and cows are branded.
• Meat factories are usually unsanitary. Meat is often packaged with all sorts of toxins on it including arsenic, excrement, blood, pus and vomit. Diseased, sick and paralyzed animals are slaughtered and packaged.
• I love animals, petting them and cuddling with them. I am against cruelty and am proud to live a cruelty-free lifestyle.
• It is better for the environment. The meat industry contributes more to global warming than cars, more than half of all the water consumed in the U.S. is used for animals raised for food and factory farms create a lot of pollution.
• I feel good knowing that I can influence change in others with my choices.
• It makes me sad to see innocent animals in pain.
• Condoning such abuse and killing creates heartless people.
• Animals are genetically manipulated, dosed with antibiotics and hormones to make them grow abnormally large so quickly that they become crippled under their own weight.
• Industry standards are not up to par as such abuse and poor living conditions exist; laws are not well enforced.
• Substitutes taste good.
• Above are a lot of reasons why I am vegan. My last reason: Why not?
