I first became a vegetarian after seeing how cows and chickens are killed for meat. Although I had wanted to stop eating meat for a long time before that, I didn't have the courage or the necessary conditions to make the switch. I initially became a vegetarian because I thought eggs were somewhat okay to eat, as I didn't know how the industry works. Milk was never on the table because I am lactose intolerant, and a glass of milk can make me miserable. A few months into being a vegetarian, mainly because I still ate eggs, I saw a YouTube video about how live male chicks are shredded. My eyes were opened once again to the truth. I accepted that it was the truth and took action that day. I stopped consuming anything related to eggs and became a vegan.
