Some are beaten daily, forced to do ridiculous tricks and robbed of every shred of dignity.

I became a vegetarian out of concern for animals, but I wasn't a vegetarian long before I realized there's something to that. I don't think I would have worked for the past five years probably were it not for my vegetarian diet.
