Animals Have Rights, Too

For many people, making the switch to vegetarianism or veganism is not a matter of health, it is a matter of morals. These people understand the suffering that slaughterhouse animals endure, and, like myself, refuse to be part of it by eating guys like the one above. These are the people who lead protests. These are the people who demonstrate in front of fur stores. These are the people who are trying to change things. To these people, I thank you with all of my heart. To those of you who as of now do not, I welcome you. I urge you to please look into this. Read a few books, click into a few websites. The animals need every friendly face they can get.
