Even though I was healthy before going vegan, I noticed the skin on my back cleared up beautifully and I never feel sick or sluggish after a meal. Upon becoming vegan I have experienced the health benefits as well. The way I rationalise it in my head is by asking myself ‘What makes me better than the cow?’ Just because we’re humans shouldn’t mean we have entitlement over someone else’s life. Killing animals for the sake of our tastebuds or fashion choices is so unnecessarily cruel. These creatures have young they want to care for, feelings of fear and comfort, as well as a capability to suffer. To me personally, eating the flesh or product of another animal is so obviously wrong. I spent the Summer break between high school and university teaching myself how to cook vegan meals and immersing myself in the online vegan community.Īnimals have always been the main reason for my vegetarianism/veganism. I became a vegetarian when I was eight years old and transitioned to veganism the day I finished my last HSC exam. My Dad has been a vegetarian for more than 20 years, so I’ve always been aware of the reasons behind this lifestyle. I grew up walking dogs, feeding strays, rescuing possums, fundraising for animal welfare groups and constantly being in awe of the animal kingdom. I’ve been a crazy animal girl my whole life. “I think becoming a vegan was always on the cards for me. So, to get the ball rolling, today it’s my pleasure to introduce you to the super adorable Trelby O’Connor, who will be blogging about vegan beauty, cruelty free cosmetics and all things to do with cruelty free living in the real world!
