answer:I am greatly reducing my animal intake for primarily health reasons, but animal cruellty is also part of the reason. The idea of the animals being mistreated has become more and more bothersome to me, kind of helping to push me towards limiting or eliminating meat and dairy. My cholesterol drops like a rock if I just dont take in any cholesterol, so basically I have a lot of control over that part of my health, I am poisoning myself at my own hand. I have not eaten veal for over 20 years for cruelty reasons. My sister is a vegan (animal cruelty, health is an added bonus), my aunt is lacto ovo (animal cruelty), and my dad is practically vegan (health reasons).
