Why are you a vegan? Part 1:Let's do it like animals

Why are you a vegetarian/vegan? 
Is a question that big questions non-meat eating people like myself hear all to often. 
 If someone is asking you this then before you can even answer most people assume you must be a tree-hugging animal rights activists before they know anything else about you. There is no one size fits for being a veggie or humans in general. Everyone has their own reasons.
I choose this way of life for many reasons below is one of theses reason that came from my own logical reply to common statement against being a vegetarian/vegan.
Part 1:  "Animal eat other animals all the time" or "Killing and eating animals is a natural part of life because we are the top of food chain."
  Keeping this very simple and over looking that the fact that animals do a lot of other things we don't.  The next thing that seems obvious to me anyway is that the animals doing the animal killing and eating don't look anything like us. Humans got the short-straw in just about everything compared to other animals. We don't have good speed, claws, teeth, heighten senses or anything else that carnivores have. Sure we have made up for all that with our brains and tools but still we seem a lot close to a herbivore.
