Why I am not a vegan

[Rhayader]

We accept suffering and cruelty as important catalyst in our own lives in order to evolve and grow in understanding. Who are we to deny the privilege of pain and suffering to other creatures? We're all one right? Using the lettuce analogy, sure you can regrow plants from cuttings and perhaps it is the same soul, able to exist in different bodies. Isn't that what we all are? When a cow is murdered, i'm sure it's soul or conciousness will go where it needs too- whether another new body of a cow or perhaps now even 'graduated' to our density thanks to our help. At the end of the day, there will never be proof either way because the nature of conciousness itself can't allow it. We don't know what plants, animals, or even other humans really perceive.
