We are vegetarians
against animal cruelty.
That includes animal testing,
eating animals, torture of any kind,
that sorta stuff.
We will not shove our beliefs down your throat
and force you to be vegetarians.
We are simply here to try and help you understand more
about why vegetarianism is a benefit.
We have carnivorous friends,
and we love them all.
We also love animals very much
and will do almost anything to help them.
