	So everyone put down reasons to be vegan or semi-vegan mostly just why we shouldnt eat animals. Facts and Compassionate logic welcome!

	Vegan because I care. Because it's common sense. Sources? Pretty much any source where there is a leaked video of a factory farm....I saw one or two videos...and I was basically turned Vegan immediately. I've never been sick from watching any sort of video before.....but watching that stuff? Or trying to....I literally almost passed out. You know the ringing in your head just before you drop to the floor? The twist of the stomach and of course the sweating....ugh I still read news about that crap happening still. But I can't for the life of me watch another video today. I'm already Vegan since 2009....I don't need a reminder of what chickens go through, or what they do to baby calfs.

There are just tons and tons and tons of them out there and they are obviously real and not isolated incidents from all the evidence
