    I am a vegetarian who is interested in veganism and considering going vegan(not easy in a non-vegan household). Firstly. I have to say that although I believe that it is permissible to eat meat as our religion permits us to do so, I also believe that we have a choice. We do not need to.
    To the muslims who believe that we ‘need’ to eat meat as we are meant to slaughter on Eid-ul-Adha, there is a way around this. In our household we pay for an animal to be slaughtered, yes, BUT it is fed to the starving people in some poor country. I think that if people are starving then that is an exception but otherwise there is no need.
    Do not use your religion as an excuse to carry on eating meat. Besides, do you really believe that factory farming and the general mistreatment of animals in the meat industry is permissible in Islam?! I think not!

      Hanifah, thank you for your comment and while I agree with some of it; I strongly feel mass slaughtering animals in our day and age has no place. I wrote about it in detail here:

      Thank you and best wishes on your vegan journey!

        Not just cheaper, but more sustainable and better for all.

      In’sha allah you can become vegan soon. I was vegetarian for a good 5 months and in that time i was consuming eggs and then i had researched the dairy and egg industry in completely put me off. I can no longer look at meat, dairy or eggs in the same way again only see the poor animal that had to suffer. I am a vegan in a non-vegan household. It has some struggles like I end up buying and making my own food. but I encourage my family to have no meat meals at least once a week or at least try to cut down their consumption. I hope they will change soon
      I had originally became vegetarian for health reasons and my parents and grandparents have so many illnesses from diabetes, heart problems. etc. which has all started due to the lack of a healthy diet and wellbeing. but then i realised what the meat industry is actually about and forget about your taste buds its not worth an innocent life. animals do not need to die for human survival.
