Meat is Murder

I really think so. I've been a vegetarian for one and a half years. [1] But I've never liked meat. Since my childhood I have been against of eating meat. And I don't understand people who say: "People have always eaten meat, since the first days of humanity". Even if that is so, why do we oppose murder, stealing, and lying? People have always killed each other, always robbed, and always told lies.
For me, eating meat = murder. But people around me say that I'm crazy "like all vegetarians".
And what do you think about it? Are there any vegetarians on Italki?

Most of the corrections I made have to do with the fact that you needed to use the verbal tense called the "present perfect."  You may wish to take a look at an English grammar which can explain the use of that tense.

[1]  Alternative:  a year and a half

Earlier in my life I didn't eat meat of any sort.  Now I will still not eat red meat, but will eat poultry and fish.  However, I do not consider that eating meat equals murder.  To me, murder is the unlawful killing of a human being, especially with malice; and an animal is not, and will never be, a human being.  

Plants are also living things.  If it is murder to kill an animal, then why isn't it murder to kill a plant?  If you say that we cannot compare plants to animals, then why can't someone else say we can't compare animals to human beings?
