Sometimes, it's a band like Most Precious Blood singing about the

cruelty.

Or a video illustrating it. Maybe a friend convinces you.

 

For 17-year-old Kara Moloney of Dracut, it was proximity.

 

Once she began working in the kennel at Wignall Animal Hospital, Kara

found her love of animals runs deep. Right to her stomach.

 

" They're a big part of my life, " says Moloney, a recent Notre Dame

Academy graduate, who plans to begin pre-veterinarian studies at

Rivier College in the fall. " I'm going to dedicate part of my life to

serving them. So how could I go to work and see these animals and

then go home and dig into a hamburger, or chicken? I mean, they're

animals, too. There's no difference. "

 

So last September, she made a pledge: She would eat flesh no more.

 

And when the Lenten season rolled around, she decided to take her vow

a step further. Now, she's a vegan. She has banned all dairy products

from her diet.

 

She's not alone in shunning meat.

People are meant to be the caretakers of this earth.

If we are not the caretakers, we are the takers.
