I am a vegan and I don't eat any kind of meat or animal product.
really, am surprised you are, a vegan is a person who abstains from use of animal products
Yes I gave up meat several years ago for ethical reasons. 
so why did you since meat is an animal flesh that should be eaten
I gave up meat because of the treatment of animals in meat product. They are kept in miserable and sad conditions and don't live healthy lives.
ok, i guess you are a vegetarian then, Vegetarianism is the practice of abstaining from the consumption of meat
No vegetarians also eat products which have animal products in them like eggs. I don't eat meat or animal products like eggs, cheese, milk and so on.
really, such ethical motivations you portray has traces to your religion
