Best Friends/Vegetarianism

[Guest guest]

I have not been out to the Best Friends Sanctuary in Utah, so I don't

know if they have dining facilities on the grounds. However, I

volunteered for 2 periods of time at the Best Friends Hurricane relief

center in Tylertown, Mississippi.

 

Although it seemed as though the majority of volunteers (who came from

all over North America) were not vegetarian, Best Friends was strict

about maintaining a vegetarian kitchen there. The 6-7 staff people I

met that had come from the Sanctuary were vegetarian or vegan. Because

of the no-meat rule, vegetarianism was often a topic of discussion at

mealtimes. And, since everyone there obviously cared deeply about

animals, this " enforced vegetarianism " and these discussions did cause

the meat-eaters to think about their future food choices.
