Man this is beautiful, the funny thing is that people will say ignorant things like "Shut Up", "You have to eat Meat" and "Vegans suck"... and you know what it is good that people get so angry about someone eating veggies. You know it is funny how people get so mad about something that they know they are doing wrong. when someone gets caught for an ex calling the phone, lol they get mad at the wife for looking at the phone, when they know they are wrong for still talking to the X

>Another thing that people say against animal people is that they care more for animals than humans. Thats not true. I care for humans deeply too. I hate all forms of cruelty and abuse. But I feel that there are alot less people for animal rights than humans rights. And animals don't get any where near the respect that humans get. Obviously horrible stuff happens to people and children, but animals get slaughtered in the billions for food, fur, etc. And the law is so slack with the cruel people.

>>>But it's just hard to think that if everyone became vegetarian or vegan, it would end the problem. But meat eaters are the big problem, it's the people who run the organisations that don;t give a shit about what goes on, and who only care about money and the people who carry out the cruelty. It just depressed me so much when i see about all the stuff that goes on.

I resent people who say things against vegetarians, that they hate them and don't trust them. And people who make me feel awkward about being vegetarian. I'm the one giving up stuff and working hard to make a tiny bit of difference. What are they doing? And their always saying that animal people and vegetarians and vegans love to preach to people. I admit I do try to influence people. My family at least eventaully see how much Im affected and try to do something but most people arent interested

@virgodrum

I'm vegetarian mate, and I've been vegetarian since I was 12 years old when I decided by myself to stop eating meat. So please stop being so fucking sanctimonious and patronizing.

And yeah taking supplements is really "natural" isn't it. Anyway, i'll say this much: not eating eggs I understand but not drinking milk is just insane.

@StigRossi Are you serious??? You actually wrote that comment? Vitamin B12 natural source in a bottle. But hey...go ahead eat dead flesh and pay the price.

Bravo John Salley....It takes guts and brains to go against the "stupid" masses. We the non meat eaters of the world will prevail!!!!!!!!!!

@OchrismongrelO I don't uae any of those and please use google to find out the truth. Meat causes cancer, high blood pressure, and a host of other diseases. It is insane to me that people fight giving up meat. Why is it so hard? Those animals feel, and mourn the loss of their babies when there is no need to eat it.

The Japanese started Whaling again, there is a seal hunt on and I do not have time to argue with you about meat. If you want to eat it do it. Just don't call on me all the time

@muscleman677 lulz, typical liberal loony whacko.... BAWWWWWWWWW

@italndiva And what do you have to say to plant right activists? Just because a being doesn't show intellect in the same manner that we do or are wired differently, doesn't mean that they don't feel. For all you know, plants could feel pain in a manner far more horrible than animals do.
