Wow, sounds like you had quit a unique experience with becoming vegetarian and I appreciate you being so open I enjoyed your comment!
I also agree with your statement on how there is no difference between "food animals" and our pets, many people are blind to this idea. Once realized you truly see value in all beings and stop discriminating on their specie type. All beings deserve love and compassion.
I'm glad their are more and more people awakening to this amazing mind set like you!
Keep doing what your doing and thanks for your valuable insight
