Why Scott Nearing stopped eating animals (#vegan):

 ". . . I became a vegetarian because I was persuaded that life is as valid for other creatures as it is for humans. I do not need dead animal bodies to keep me alive, strong and healthy. Therefore, I will not kill for food. . . "

  1. Yesterday at work, the building manager put up traps for mice around the outside of the building. (poison bait). He had a bucket in his hand and was showing the staff a dead mouse. Some of the women were screaming about it, as if the dead mouse could hurt them. I thought that was a shame, as the mouse should be able to live outside.
