Veganism: a classically controversial subject. Even mentioning it elicits a strong opinion in most people.
Veganism is the choice to live without the consumption or use of products derived from animals or animal exploitation. This, of course, includes meat, as well as dairy and eggs. Vegans are also opposed to animal testing, some are against zoos, aquariums or even pets as well.
Like many vegans, my realization about the animal agriculture industry was gradual. First I saw a couple vegan videos on KZitem, and then I read some books, all the while coming to the grim conclusion that the world I previously saw with rose-colored glasses was deeply dystopian. I was hesitant to change my lifestyle, however; nervous about possible health effects and reluctant to give up some of my favorite foods. But one night about a year ago, I watched Earthlings and knew that I had to cut animal products out of my life. In September, when I went to college and had more control over my diet, I was able to live up to this resolution.
Since that time, I have learned even more about the animal agriculture industry, and have become involved in vegan activism. I know that many people have hostile or dismissive opinions towards the movement, and I was once the same way, so I am passionate about communicating about why I don't eat animals. Today I want to talk about why I am vegan and break down the reasons why I believe that it is the only morally-justifiable position on the subject of eating animals. I will discuss the philosophical arguments for veganism that I find most convincing, as well as the horrendous treatment of animals that is the norm in our society.
Note - in the video I say that the average age of slaughter for cows is 1 year; I have found different sources that say different things, all in the range of 1-3 years old.
WHO AM I? I'm an 18-year-old computer science university student with a book obsession and a propensity for spewing my opinions on the internet.
