So nice to see your compassionate timeline Baillie. We all come to it on our own schedule don't we and no one ever knows who's words might be the trigger that sets us off in a new direction. I'll bet my daughter who was 'hating' an animal rights group had no idea at the time, that she would be instrumental in changing my heart and my lifestyle.
And while I know you don't like the 'vegan' label, I personally am happy to wear it because it identifies that it is my lifestyle which means it isn't just diet but it actually references my respect for the rights of animals to live in the same way I do (as much as is possible in this volatile world) in safety and without fear. I also love it when someone calls me a bleeding heart because it tells me that they recognize that I care about the animals. I consider them Badges of Honour.
