A few days ago, in my non-oppressive relationships class, we were watching a documentary called The Witness. It's about a man named Eddie Lama, who never had pets as a child, and was raised around people who abused animals. One of his friends asked him to babysit her kitten, and during that time he fell in love with it. He immediately became a vegetarian, and explained how cats and dogs are no different then other animals that society deems as food or clothing. It's the perceptions we have of animals, not who the animal is, that decides which ones die. The rest of the film discusses the disgusting treatment of animals on factory fur farms, and his attempt to get this censored information to the public. It truely is the most influential film I have ever seen. I haven't touched meat for over four days, and don't plan on doing so anytime soon.
So, my question is, are any of you vegetarian/vegan? I would love your input on recipes, meat substitutes, vegetarian cookbooks, veg blogs, etc.
xoxo.
