My Attempt At Going Veggie!

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love my food, meat especially! You name it I love it, sausage rolls, sausage sandwiches, turkey, beef, cheese burgers, chicken, rashers, The list goes on. Basically I would eat meat in any shape or form, That was until last week. I was at home bored and just browsing the web when I came across a video of animals in slaughter houses being tortured just before they were slaughtered. These people were just hurting these defenceless animals for no good reason other than their own amusement. They were doing stuff like jumping up and down on small pigs, throwing them against concrete walls and even putting them into boiling water. This video really effected me. It got me thinking what kind of people could do that to a living thing without feeling guilt?

After that I couldn't look at meat, I decided just to give it up. Now this was a BIG thing for me. I thought no way can I do this no matter how sick the video made me feel, But every time I had to eat I just couldn't look at the meat never mind eat it. It's now been a full week and I haven't eaten anything resembling meat. It has been a week filed with cheese pizzas and french toast(with maple syrup... nicest thing ever!) I know what you're thinking, One week... big deal, But for me it is!! There is nothing that makes me as angry as animal cruelty. Sure I don't know that every piece of meat that is put in front of me was from an animal that was unnecessarily hurt before been killed for its meat but I don't know that it wasn't a victim of cruelty either, If that makes sense.

Here is a link to the video I watched (If you want to continue eating meat I really suggest you don't watch it!) Slaughter House.
