"They bring home the meat, but I have NEVER seen them eat ANY of it. Their house is plastered with taxidermy. It's awful. Oh, and then there's the 2 "hunting dogs," Bear and Trusty (RB) who lived their lives in a small pen treated like crap. Her dad does NOT respect the animals he kills...at all...it's just for show.
And I've seen one of those Trophy Elk farms....filled entirely with bull elk with huge antlers...it was so sad...we stopped to see them and they all came running...they were friendly and tame."
gosh.. that really stinks. makes me sad and mad.
"Just one more question...isn't it pretty expensive to be on a vegan diet?"
Hmm.. no. Its pretty much the same I think, or less. Some of the products, like shampoo, lotion, soap, etc cost more, but I mean, I dont care. If I have to pay more so animals dont have to have shite needlessly poured in their eyes, its worth is. And as for the food, a lot of things like, grains, pasta, etc, you can buy in bulk and its a lot cheaper than meat and stuff.
Oh and heres a quote I just found on askcarla.com answering your very question lol:
"You’re right that vegan specialty foods, like prepared veggie burgers, etc., are sometimes more expensive than their nonvegan counterparts, but fortunately, they aren’t the only options. Prepared food will always be more expensive than food you make yourself, so buying the ingredients and making them at home will typically save you money. Veggie staples such as pasta, rice, tofu, and beans are much cheaper than meat. The money you save from not buying meat can go toward paying just a little extra for nondairy milk and other staples, like fruits and vegetables. Another suggestion is to buy food in bulk, either at the store, over the Internet, or through catalogs. You can find many vegan mail-order catalogs listed in the classified section in the back of Vegetarian Times magazine."
I dont pay for the groceries since Im living at home right now, so I dont know exactly, so Im glad I found that quote. lol
"Veegan, I must commend you for having so much PATIENCE!! I still don't agree with a vegan diet for pets, but I have to commend you for being so conscience about your diet and the world around you."
lol thanks

No one in my family is even vegetarian. It was pretty crappy at first cause my family was all against it and my dad was a MAJOR a-hole, and no one understood why I wanted to be vegan, and yeah. But now that I know my facts I can explain my reasons to them, plus they are used to my diet by now lol so its all well and good. I get the occasional crap, but that’s expected.. Im used to getting crap/made fun of by people about it. Im getting pretty good at comebacks. heh
