I was thinking the other day, what makes someone feel so strongly about animals? To become a vegetarian you have to really push yourself to not fall victim to what society thinks of what you should eat. We have been taught our whole lives to eat meat, not only that but hunting and gathering is something that has kept us alive for thousands of years. No one likes to think of an animal dieing so I understand some of the driving force behind the will power of those who chose to not eat meat. I feel like this mind set doesn't effect more  people because we are not the one's that kill the animal or have to watch it die. I feel that if more people had to watch the animal that they were going to eat die they would not eat it. We no longer have to hunt for our food so we don't respect it the same way. Eating meat is something that is so common in American lives that we think nothing of the animal that died just so we don't get to hungry that day.
