  It saddens me that human culture has evolved to the point where compassionate people can have reservations about caring too much.
  
  You're not alone! There are millions of us who share unlimited compassion for others!
  
  For a detailed explanation of how and why people have such varying degrees of compassion for others, please visit my "Thinkin' Folks Books" website, and read the essay, "Circles" ("Expanding the Circles of Compassion").

  Hello Hippy-Han, yes, I have felt the same, and there was a time in my life, I didn't know where to turn to and what to do. I was so sickened, depressed and it felt like I was screaming but no one could hear me. I feel a little better now, but I can no longer watch slaughterhouse or animal abuse, neglect torture documentaries anymore. I have been vegan for four years now, and hope that one day we will wake up and realize what we are doing to animals, and that they are living beings just like us and deserve to live free from all sufferings. To me eating animals is becoming so old fashioned, as to compared to cannibalism, which I see it that way since it is eating the flesh of a living being who has emotions and can suffer.

  Hi Hippy-Han. Welcome to our world. You are not a freak, you are human being with feelings, and it is totally ok to feel like than. I have the same feeling years ago , when I watched YouTube video how they torture cows and chicken before they kill them. So be active and support the communities that help animals.

  Hey there! Well I am actually going through and feeling the EXACT same stuff right now. I had just had chicken for dinner when I first watched just a 5 minute YouTube clip of farmed animals. I physically felt sick and could not stop tossing and turning that whole night. Since then I have become a vegetarian, yet I REALLY want to become a vegan! However, while I still live with my parents who constantly tease and bully me about this decision, I know that I'll have to wait until I leave home in just a few years to do this.
  
  If you want to talk about it (because I know exactly what you are going through!) then just PM me if you want :) I feel very detached from the world, and every time I look at my omnivore friends I find it very hard to even smile :( You are not crazy and alone in this! And I hope to one day be as strong as you and become vegan...

  I had same feeling after turning vegan... it was nightmare, plus overwhelming guilt feeling after i realized that i was supporting murder whole my life and stuffing my face with corpses :( And since i'm vegan i see world from different view,i see all those zombie humans living empty lives,destroying everything they encounter on their way just for their own convenience. It makes me feel little better to do something, spread the word,hoping more people will open their eyes,thats why im making those vegan stickers- to spread the word .

  I've been vegan for just over 5 years and I know exactly how you feel. It saddens me that animals are mistreated in so many ways and that so many people don't care.

  I know how that feels I have recently become a vegan and the more I learn the sicker I feel. In a perfect world no animal would suffer
