Day 53 of no meat
I feel I’m more upset about the death of animals than I was.
I’ve always loved animals, that part isn’t new. I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, even when I ate use to eat meat. I was sad that an animal had died for me to eat, but I guess it never bothered me enough to make me stop.
Earlier my mom was watching a show about a cow farm, then it got to the part where they were taking the “restaurant cow” to be slaughtered. I broke down crying for this poor little cow. Even though I’ve always felt love for animals, this moment hit me really hard. I don’t know if maybe it’s because not eating meat has made me more aware or what.
It was that moment that turn me from
“I’m not eating meat” to
“I’m never eating meat”
I don’t know if anyone else has had a moment like that or has had such strong emotional reactions to animals after stopping meat but it’s something I didn’t quite expect to such a degree.
