After spending alot of time with a fellow rescuer who has been Vegetarian for sometime - i started thinking seriously about making the change.
Within a few days I pulled up at a set of lights behind a truck and small horse trailer.
I was talking on my cell, drinking coffee & making notes about something and not really paying attention to the world around me.
For whatever reason I looked up and there was a beautiful big brown cow sticking his head out of the back of the trailer.
I noticed him and went back to my business - but felt the need to keep looking back up.
He wasn't just there - he had made eye contact with me and wasn't looking away.
That was it for me. Everything fell into place. This beautiful animal, with the big brown eyes staring at me....also had a tag in it's ear was no doubt on it's way to die.
I have not eaten meat since.
I'm making other changes slowly - one thing at a time.
Only Silk in my coffee, 'True' Free Range Eggs from a local farm & no more butter.
