Some, like rajoon, spend their time trying to tell others what to eat. And they try to impose their values on others.

So to those, I say mind your own damn business.

Others are members of psycho organizations like PETA, who's founder actually said "I hope hoof and mouth disease comes to America because the cows would suffer less than they do in a slaughter house." HOW PSYCHO IS THAT?

By the way, my brother has worked in 2 slaughter houses, and the animals are killed instantly.

Some people are vegetarian/vegan for environmental reasons and actively work to protect the environment. Others are veg for health, religious, etc. reasons and aren't involved in these efforts.

Just eating less meat or being veg helps to preserve nature. In a recent U.N. report, "Livestock’s Long Shadow: Environmental Issues and Options," scientists found that raising animals for food generates more greenhouse gases than all the cars, trucks, and planes in the world combined. (!) Senior U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization official Henning Steinfeld said that the meat industry is “one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global.”

This would depend on the person & also the reason why that person was vegetarian or vegan. Several of our companion animals, including cats & rats, have been rescues. I've signed petitions and written letters in favor of habitat preservation & several other animal-related matters.

I've volunteered at a homeless no-kill animal shelter for 5 years, since 5th grade...and am about to start volunteering at another shelter too...If I see a turtle on the road, I pull over and bring it to a safe area...If I see a stray, I pull over and put out food for it, or try to catch it to take care of it...I also leave out bird and squirrel seed in my yard.

I volunteer for the local vegetarian society to promote veg.

I believe not eating meat alone does help, because you become a "walking model" for others who may be influence to be vegetarians in future with ur lifestyle.

Yes, some are taxidermist. They display them in museums.
