Becomeing Vegetarian: My Story

I've been vegetarian on & off since I was about 9 years old. When I was 16 I started eating around the meat so for example I'd maybe order a chicken salad & eat the salad but eat around the chicken & leave it. I was also still eating sweets like Haribo that contain gelatine.

Around Easter Monday of last year (April 2011) I decided I wasn't going to eat any more meat or any more fish & any byproducts. So I stopped strait away & I haven't eaten anythink containing meat/fish since.

I made this decision as I love all animals so much & the thought of eating them made me feel physically sick also when I ate meat/fish & it was juicy I felt as thou it was blood from the animal & I couldn't continue feeling this way as I was feeling more & more guilty by the day. I also don't wear fur/leather.

I try my best every day of my life to help animals as much as I can whether it's donateing money to animal charitys, signing petitions,sponsoring animals (WWF), trying to help stop animal cruelty & I hope to start helping out at local animal rescue centers in the near future & carry that on when I move to the east coast.

Below I'll insert a few links that may be useful to anyone who's thinking of becomeing vegetarian or wanting to go cruelty free. I'll also insert a couple of links if you want to sign a pledge.
