Why Go Vegan - A sweet story

Hey guys, Josephine Bila from Josephine bila.com. Today I want to share a story with you about why I went vegan. Has to do with this — huge scar. About four years ago, I had a dog and he caused me to fall in my apartment, and I fell like right on my elbow and smashed my face into the floor on tile. So, I broke my elbow and really damaged my face and had to get a plate, rod and three pins in my arm to make it work again. And about five months of rehabilitation -- two surgeries -- because they had to move my nerve out of the way, because it was getting caught in scar tissue. It was the most painful experience of my life, but it changed me completely, because as I was laying on my bed, like whenever I went home and I had to work on my elbow. You don't get a cast when you break your elbow. You just have to constantly move it, which is like... excruciatingly painful. So, I'd be laying on my bed and attempting to move my arm back and forth, like this. I couldn't even reach my hand to my mouth, because it was just so damaged in there. So, as I was laying there, my dog would sit next to my leg and push himself against me and lick my leg. He knew that I was in pain. As I realized every time I was sitting there crying and trying to move my arm again, he was comforting me in a way that I never really thought an animal could. That's why I said to myself, "I can never eat another animal again knowing that he is so fully aware of what's going on." Maybe he can't say it in words, but he said it in his behavior and even the expressions on his face. It was really amazing. It's just something to think about. Animals do have feelings. They do understand things, and as humans we have a choice to eat meat or not. There are plenty of people who survive, including myself on not eating meat. Now it's been... Like, I had to wean myself off of it, because I mean I grew up eating a lot of fish and chicken, so I slowly stopped eating those things and I slowly stopped eating dairy. Then I just stopped. It's just something to consider. I just wanted to share that with you. I hope you liked this. Subscribe to my channel. I'll see you soon.
