I hate it if people write on pictures in that way. But well actually I like your work because I am a veggi too =P ... lol
Why are you a veggi?

I did not turn back. I pressed on, and eventually passed over the border, beyond which lies a place that is wordless and cold, so cold that it, like mercury, burns a freezing blue flame
:iconxtakeagoodlookx:
well, im glad you like this :)
im vegetarian just because i stopped liking how it tasted at first. then i started learning about things like peta and all that jazz, which inspired me.
why are you vegetarian? :)

Aren't you scared of the moon crashing into the Earth? Or waking up to your life being a dream?

I am a Vegetarian out of ethnical reasons (well I am a lacto veggi, but I am on my way to get vegan) I think all creatures on this world have the right to live, we shouldn't diskriminate and exploit others, make them suffer just for our vantages.

i totally agree with you, and i understand why you dont eat dairy products. but one thing that bothers me is that vegan's dont eat eggs or drink milk. eggs are checked before they're shipped off to see if there are going to be chicks. and milk doesnt hurt a cow.....does it?

The milk industry:
well Cows are drugged and bred to produce unnatural amounts of milk; a cow has to be pregnant to get milk. They have their babies stolen from them shortly after birth and sent to notoriously cruel veal farms so that humans can drink the calves' milk. The calves get on a meat farm if they are old enough, they kill them and sell it as calvemeat. Because of that vegetarians are murders as well.

The egg industry:
The 340 million chickens raised for their eggs, called “laying hens” by the industry, endure a nightmare that lasts for two years. 22 A large portion of each hen’s beak is cut off with a burning-hot blade, and no painkillers are used. Many birds, unable to eat because of the pain, die from dehydration and weakened immune systems. After enduring these mutilations, hens are shoved into tiny wire “battery” cages, which measure roughly 18 by 20 inches and hold five to 11 hens (McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, and Safeway allow a maximum of five birds per cage), each of whom have a wingspan of 32 inches. Even in the best scenario (five hens to a cage), each hen will spend the rest of her life crowded in a space about the size of a file drawer with four other hens, unable to lift even a single wing.23
Birds on egg farms don't have enough space to lift one wing, and the wire grating of their cages constantly cuts into their feet.
Birds on egg farms don’t have enough space to lift one wing, and the wire grating of their cages constantly cuts into their feet.
Battery cages are stacked on top of each other, and excrement constantly falls onto the birds in the lower cages and into huge manure pits that line the sheds. The stench of ammonia and feces hangs heavy in the air, and disease runs rampant in the filthy, cramped sheds. Many birds die, and survivors are often forced to live with their dead and dying cagemates, who are left to rot. The light in the sheds is constantly manipulated in order to maximize egg production. Periodically, for two weeks at a time, the hens are only fed reduced-calorie feed. This process induces an extra laying cycle.
Male chicks are worthless to the egg industry, so every year, millions of them are tossed into trash bags to suffocate or are thrown into high-speed grinders called macerators while they are still alive.
After two years in these conditions, the hens’ bodies are exhausted, and their egg production drops.
“spent” hens are shipped to slaughterhouses, where their fragile legs are snapped into shackles and their throats are cut. By the time they are sent to slaughter, roughly 29 percent of the hens are suffering from broken bones resulting from neglect and rough treatment. Their emaciated bodies are so damaged that their flesh can generally be used only for chicken noodle soup, companion-animal food, or “canned, boned, and diced” meat, much of which goes to the National School Lunch Program (these purchases are in jeopardy, however, as students have been injured by accidentally swallowing bone fragments).

I'm also a vegetarian, and this really stands out to me. I get a lot of bother at school with people who try to provoke me. I think it's a really nice pic. :D
