I am very compassionate towards animals and I still think about the whole animal lover/meat eater dilemma. First of all, I do not eat meat, because by doing so, I do not contribute to the slaughterhouse cruelties and ultimately it is better for the environment (less pollution) and my health. But, I do eat fish, I am not of the opinion that fish are not worthy or do not feel pain, I still feel bad for them, but I feel like my body does need to eat fish once in a while. I tried to wear non-leather shoes and usually buy purses that are non-leather aswell, but it's not as easy as it seems to find a vast variety of non-leather items. I feed my pets meet, and that is something that is anavoidable, because the do really need it. So if I feed my animals a cow or a chicken, or cute little pork out of a bag, I can't help but becoming one of the consumers that supports slaughterhouses. Very sad. I feel that since I am human and blessed with a reasoning mind, I should not follow other animals
