I am vegan because...

"I am vegan because I don't have the right not to be." wrote Flynn at the Vegan Freaks forums.

"I became vegetarian literally overnight in 2003 after I spent about 6 hours (between midnight and 6 am) watching videos on http://www.petatv.com/." wrote the Vegan Princess.

"I decided to be a vegetarian because I love all animals." wrote Morgan.

"I am vegan because my pain is no greater than their pain. I suffer the same as a dairy cow, the same as a lab rat. I am vegan because i can see the un-necessary suffering in a shampoo bottle, the loneliness in zoos. I am vegan for every animal whose pain was silenced, brushed aside. I am vegan because I feel that caring about something is more important than convenience, because my pain is no greater than theirs, and I can see this." wrote Ali
