Is anyone here a vegan or a vegetarian?

I was walking past a farm in New Zealand. There was an enclosure outside the main field, and in it were a dozen little bobby calves. I knew why they were there. As I walked by, a truck arrived to pick them up, and they were chucked into that truck as though they were already dead.
I made up my mind, right there, that I would never be a part of that kind of cruelty ever again.
My health improved tremendously too. -

So to sum it up, you had a deep emotional bond, and you didn’t want to eat meat again because you saw the process of animal cruelty getting enticed in front of your very own eyes? That’s another reason why I eat less meat, since it would remind me of the deaths that I’ve witnessed in front of my very own eyes. I’d detest having my stomach digesting the same amount of horror that my eyes had to in heavy doses.

I perish that thought; and not only because of animals, but because of the commitment and effort that a lot of these people sacrifice just to endeavor this form of life for other species of animals.

You’re correct about that; and it’s pretty much the same with most changes in our daily routines, as it just requires adjustments while jumping out of our comfort zones.

No, I’m neither a vegan or a vegetarian; however, if I were to ever consider choosing to become either one of the two, I’d take being a vegetarian over a vegan simply because I could never imagine consuming ingredients strictly from plant sources only.

You’re right, lol. I had to use Google, as I wouldn’t have picked up on it otherwise.

If you really cared about animals you wouldn't wear cotton clothes either, you'd run around naked. You know how many insects and small animals die in the production of cotton?

Nah, that’s a silly leap.
Word of advice: before you do the analogy, it only works if you espouse the position of the issue you’re giving yourself, otherwise it becomes insincere and thus, meaningless. This would only work if you yourself avoid cotton for the reasons you mentioned.
You’ve did this before with “don’t you kill ants by walking?” So you avoid every ant when you walk? No you don’t. You don’t even try with cows and chickens.
Example: a person big on eco-friendliness is called a hypocrite for driving a car…from a person who DRIVES A CAR! It doesn’t work. The latter person just gives
less ****s
, is all.
