The animal and animal byproducts are something that we can live without. We don't need to survive by eating them, we can survive on a Vegan diet. A Vegan diet makes us more compassionate. It makes us realize that animals such as cows, chickens and pigs, are no different from the animals we share our homes with. The only difference is our attitude towards farm animals and pets.
