"I'm just not sure if I believe animals have souls."
She's a pescatarian for environmental/political reasons, but has a real problem being "soft" and "sentimental" about animals. I can't help but think that her Christian upbringing and fishing/hunting father contribute to this view of animals not having souls.
But I can't help but think, if you aren't SURE if animals have souls, that means that maybe they do. Is it worth the risk? And also, is it relevant? It's still a life that doesn't need to be taken for us to survive.
Basically, it broke my heart. I don't know why my non-vegan friends say things like that to me. I'm having an increasingly difficult time getting along in this world with mostly non-vegan friends and a meat-eating family. Sometimes it just really gets me down, ya know?
