Guest guest Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 This is an interesting question, and I'd have to say my family. Growing up we always raised a cow, at first I thought it was a pet, and never really understood why we'd get new ones every year. But at age 8, I saw my cow, Charlie Brown, get butchered. It didn't go well, he didn't die right away, and crashed through the fench. He ran right at me, and just before he got to me they shot him again. I never ate meat or drank milk from that day on. I didn't understand at the time that I was becoming a vegetarian, I just knew something was horribly wrong. My brother pretty much felt the same way and is now a vegetarian, and my parents don't really eat red meat anymore. My father felt terrible after this all happened, and stopped raising cows, and now gardens. Who in your life has influenced you most in your decision to be a vegetarian [or to eat more veg meals, if you are not yet a vegetarian]?
