Meet your Meat


So,
my first step in becoming a good person in life was becoming a vegetarian... I suggest if you love animals, you do the same thing... How can you love animals and eat them? I became a vegetarian at 17 and it was the best thing i have ever done.. i don't eat any meat or fish, and i feel much healthier now than i did when i ate meat.

This is the video that made me become a vegetarian... I am a strong follower of PETA and they did an investigation behind slaughterhouses called meet your meat... but if only slaughterhouses had glass walls... watch the video by clicking on the link.


If you love animals called pets, why do you eat animals called dinner?

Anyway, ill get more into slaughterhouses and vegetarian stuff later... just think about where that piece of meat you ate came from... remember that once upon a time it had eyes, it felt pain, it probably even loved... at the end of the day, animals are my friends, and i dont eat my friends... do you?

Introduction

So, I've never had a blog before, but i felt this was a way to share my thoughts with others.. I guess I should do a small intro about myself to start off, even if no one ends up reading this...

My names Stacey and I'm 20 years old.. I've been fortunate enough to live around the world, I grew up in Scotland, Colombia, Venezuela, the US, and now Cyprus, a small little island in the Mediterranean.. the one thing that has stayed the same throughout my life, no matter where I have lived is my immense love for animals. People change through out the world, whether it be due to culture, race, or just attitude, but animals stay the same.. they are true, and loyal, and they will never turn their back on you.

I guess the moment that I really felt the need to protect animals was when i was younger and walking my dog with my mom... We were in a field and heard the distant cries of kittens... So we looked for what seemed to be forever and eventually came upon a box. someone had dumped a mother cat and her 6 newborn kittens in a huge box, and the cats were wrapped inside a few plastic bags, not allowing them to breathe.. by this time three kittens and the mother cat were already dead... so after burying them we took care of the three surviving kittens until they could go to a new home. that was the day when I realised how cruel our world had become, and when I realised I had to do something more to help animals who cant help themselves...
