Why you should really become a vegan, or make a serious effort to consume less meat, dairy, eggs:
1. Animal welfare: Organic farm animals don't get slaughtered or transported any differently than factory farm animals
2. Our health: Plant based protein is far better than animal protein in many ways, see this documentary:

3. Environmental: read up on UN report here:

4. Personal: Follow your conscience. Live with integrity. You gain positive energy in making a difference in so many living beings' lives if you stop contributing to their suffering.
5. It's just easier for you to promote animal welfare to others if you don't eat them yourselves
6. Why a pig is food and a dog is pampered? There's no reason. They all feel pain, sadness, suffering, helplessness, despair all the same, just as humans do.
