But perhaps the characteristic, which most defines Rebecca, is her love for animals. She avoids meat of any kind, including beef or chicken broth. She will drink milk, but is a bit uncomfortable about eggs. Her decision to become a vegetarian is based on her intense empathy for animals. People have the ability to do what they want to do.
Animals don t have any freedom they re bribed with food and mistreated.
Soon enough, it s time for Rebecca s lacrosse game, and our interview is over. She is visibly more relaxed and, I think, a little proud of herself for doing a good thing. She should be. It is a special young woman who, at thirteen, is acting on her values and reaching out to help others. Thank you, Rebecca, for your generosity.
