BrokenQuills replied to etti's discussion are all whites racists?

BrokenQuills replied to Ericah Jo's discussion What are your feelings on being a vegitarian?

"Because I believe animals are equal to humans, and since I believe that it seems hypocritical that I would eat an animal. I just don't like to end lives if I can avoid it. I also don't approve of the horrible way livestock is treated today…"
