Before I begin, I would just like to point out I'm not against veganism or vegetarianism, I just think different of them. I do support animal rights, but I'll explain more of my beliefs in a bit.

It doesn't matter how many videos PETA tries to shove in my face. The vegan lifestyle just isn't for me. We all should know the difference between vegans and vegetarians: vegetarians just can't eat meat (and possibly other animal products). Vegans can't have any animal products, because vegetarians are inclined to eat some dairy products. In terms of being a vegetarian, I think I could only do it for a few days to a week at most. But being a vegan? Never in a million years.

I know a quite a few people who chose that lifestyle and I always wonder, "How do you do it?" Well, it's just how they live their life, and there's nothing wrong with that. However for me, the thing is, I've eaten meat for so long there's no question it's a part of my diet. I try to skip it maybe once or twice a week, but I wouldn't be the same if I didn't eat it. I also have cereal with cow's milk almost every day, so there's no way I could give up dairy so easily.

Now just because I eat animal products doesn't mean I don't care about animals. Ever since I was a little kid, I never cared for zoos because I felt terrible for the animals. I was more lenient when it came to aquariums, but I don't 100% support their beliefs either. I've never been to SeaWorld, and I don't plan to any time soon. I am against how they treat their animals. I was never a big fan of circuses, but again, I'm slightly more lenient of their treatments. I don't completely support it, but I don't think it's as bad as SeaWorld.

Overall, I might eat animal products, but I'm at the point where a vegan lifestyle would make me miserable. I would lose so much variety in what I eat that it just wouldn't work out for me in the end. I do support animal rights as much as the next guy, but I'm not a crazed activist. As tough as it is to say, I do agree with PETA on some things, but not everything. There are certain animals I don't want to die or go extinct. And I know I'm not the only one who thinks this way.
