Is anyone else having crazy empathy for mass produced farm animals and even considering going vegan for their final days?

[rest in peace]

Being so aware of suffering and wanting to end my own has really got me thinking about the suffering I'm imposing on the world. I can barely live with myself eating animals knowing I'm not only suffering but adding suffering to this planet. If I ever recover I think I will have to go vegan. I am just too sensitive and disgusted with the world and the suffering contained within it. Even if we live "good lives" and be happy I will always be upset with how much suffering we just sit here and watch.

you're such a kind soul ❤

I don't think that it's crazy to have empathy for animals that have to live, suffer, and die in factory farms. I've been a vegetarian for almost 14 years because I'm not comfortable with eating animals. I don't want to be the cause of any kind of pain to another creature. I guess I have too much empathy for my own good, but that seems to be a common trait among autistic people. I could never really go full-vegan unless I stopped taking my meds though, since pill capsules have gelatin in them.
