vegetarian
me? i can't decide. here's why.
animals are here for our use. i like me a good steak.
-but are animals for our use.. still? in this time, with this high demand that makes the raising and slaugtering of the animals in most cases inhumane?
also, can you be semi-vegetarian? i mean, i guess you can be whatever you choose. i think that i would choose to still eat seafood, and to eat hunted animals. i like elk meat, and i feel that the hunting of deer is not only humane, but nessecary because of the deer population.
i think i would also still eat animal by-products. i need to look into the treatment of animals in this case, so that i can get a better idea about it. i know you can buy free-range eggs, which seems to eliminate any problem in my mind. what about milk cows? how are they treated?
i know, i know. some people (ahem, most people) feel that "they're just animals." and why in the world would you care about the treatment of your hamburger?? but it strikes a chord for me. so i'm considering these things, and if anybody has a thought or two or three...

i was a vegetarian for 6 months about a year ago. my whole life i have HATED how animals are treated so horribly. i am an animal right activist. the only reason i stopped being a vegetarian is because i went through/am going through health problems and was told to stop for a while until things get better. let me know if you need any advice. being a veggie is easy. i promise
thanks em! i have decided to do it after researching it for hours this morning haha. it seems healthier and especially after learning more about factory farming i know that it's the right thing for me to do. i guess the only way i'd feel comfortable eating meat and fish was if i hunted or raised the animals myself and knew they were treated humanely.
