I am glad to share my vegetarian experience here.

As a meat lover for many years, it is unbelievable when I realized I have been vegetarian for almost 7 years!

The turning point was in July 2014, I got invited to a friend's wedding in Perth. After I flied from Sydney to Perth, the bride's families from overseas suggested to go for crab-catching in river on day. As a Chinese born person without any families in vegetarian diet habit, I got used to see steamed fish and crabs on the table without compassion.

We caught crabs from river and I saw live crabs in green with two eyes on top and arms legs moving just like tiny human baby. I think they are very very cute. Friends and families brought crabs to a Chinese restaurant to cook.

However, when I saw the live and cute crabs became fresh red crabs on the dish, I cannot help myself to cry.

I was reluctant to eat the dead cutie baby given they supposed to live with their parents in the river happily.

Since that day, I became vegetarian till now without any regrets. My emotion becomes more stable than before and feel much lighter physically and mentally.

May I story help you to become vegetarian or vegan sooner better than later. Hope we may enjoy life without killing. May our vegetarian diet habit contributes to all sentient being's freedom and happiness.
