Description
his is a series on being Vegan that I am doing. I live next to a pasture of beef cattle, I have been a Vegan for most of my life. I can not look into the eyes of a creature that feels pain and even think about food. All the cattle were photographed in Montrose, Colorado and each one has a different verse or quote.
The biblical case for vegetarianism does not rest on the view that killing may never be allowable in the eyes of God, rather on the view that killing is always a grave matter. When we have to kill to live we may do so, but when we do not, we should live otherwise.
I drive by these Cows in this Feedlot almost daily, it breaks my heart. They paw for you, want their heads scratched, I sit and watch them, they show love to one another. They almost smile when you speak to them, they are curious. Filthy, horrid conditions. Being Vegan is a joy, not a sacrifice. I will not consume the soul of another.
Veganism is a type of vegetarian diet that excludes meat, eggs, dairy products and all other animal-derived ingredients. Many vegans also do not eat foods that are processed using animal products, such as refined white sugar and some wines. Most vegans also avoid the use of all products tested on animals, as well as animal-derived non-food products, such as leather, fur and wool.
Vegan refers to either a person who follows this way of eating, or to the diet itself.
