We live by the death of others. We are burial places.”** -Leonardo da Vinci.* *“The awful cruelty and terror to which tens of thousands of animals killed for human food are subjected in traveling long distances by ship and rail and road to the slaughterhouses of the world.

To you it shall be for meat.”-**Genesis l:29.* *Vegetarianism is a choice that people make for various reasons, perhaps health, perhaps animal rights, perhaps for humanitarian reasons, or perhaps for spiritual reasons.
