Vegetarianism

[Catherine]

Quote:I didn't eat meat for over 10 years and nothing changed. The meat industry kept killing. I often thought if enough people stop eating it it will matter. But I have changed my view from experience. Laws MUST change!!!

That is the point, Laws must change. But laws are made in response to the will of the people. We declare our will by petitions and protests and lobbying. We also make a statement through our actions.

That being said, I don't think my not eating meat will change anything.
I am doing it because I don't want to be part of the cruelty. I know how animals are treated and I want no part of it. I am also careful to use products not tested on animals. I know that won't change things, but it means no animal suffered because of my shampoo.

Changes to laws require years of work and petitioning and getting the message across. I don't have to be a vegetarian to do that, but I feel better for trying to live differently.
