Quote by Vaslav Nijinsky
I do not like eating meat because I have seen lambs and pigs kille

I do not like eating meat because I have seen lambs and pigs killed. I saw and felt their pain. They felt the approaching death. I could not bear it. I cried like a child. I ran up a hill and could not breathe. I felt that I was choking. I felt the death of the lamb. – Vaslav Nijinsky
