poor baby cow
*this is a sad and depressing post so if you don't want to be sad and depressed you probably shouldn't read it.
the main reason i went vegan is because i'm SUPER sensitive about animal suffering in any way, i can't even watch a movie where an animal dies without crying (even king kong where it was obviously a huge fake gorilla!). i have to try really hard to stay away from pictures and descriptions when i look online for vegan recipes and info -- i know they're there for a reason, some people need to see that stuff, but not me.
anyways, i just happened to see a picture of a baby cow getting skinned ALIVE and i feel so upset and physically nauseous from it, i don't know what to do. i guess i'm just wondering if anyone has some advice on how to kind of push it out of my head or else maybe think of it in a different way .... i don't know, i just feel really sad now :'(
I am like you... I stay away from graphic stuff because it stays in my head forever. I don't know how to get rid of it...I just try to avoid being exposed to images like that. The good thing about it is that it is REAL easy for me to stay the course, because I don't want any part of that, unlike some people that seem to drift in and out of being veg/vegan.
:( I just try to concentrate on how I'm not contributing to torture like that, and how no animals are harmed for my well being. Makes me feel a little better.
i feel a little better, it's nice knowing i'm not the only one who freaks out about this stuff. it seems like so many people are ok with seeing things like that!! even my family and friends think i'm way over sensitive, but i feel like animals are so innocent and have no idea what's happening to them and why, and that's what makes it so heartbreaking. but vexierspiegel's right, i'm just glad i'm not the reason animals are tortured, and it definitely helps me stay the course. thanks :)
