all vegan shopping
March 28th, 2006Over the weekend, I visited a little shop called All Vegan near the corner of Adams Avenue and Park Blvd. near Hillcrest.
I bought my first pair of “vegan” shoes. I’ll have to go back there for a non-leather belt. But the pair of shoes I bought cost just a little over $30.00, made of hemp, and you can just slip into without having to tie shoelaces.
I got a free CD-ROM from them, and there are some audio and video files about the whole vegan movement. The video was just awful to watch… showing pigs, cattle and chickens being killed, showing their deplorable living conditions and how they are treated very badly by the workers. I couldn’t finish it! I started out becoming a vegan for health reasons, but am now convinced that I do it because I am also against the cruelty to, and killing of animals!
And… I renewed my membership to PETA.
