I'm from the UK - I'm 26 and I turned vegan about 2 months ago. The reason I am vegan is because it is immoral to take sensitive sentient beings and treat them as if they are property. Nothing that is alive and that can feel pain and suffering and is conscious of it's surroundings should be treated as though they are merely units of production, It's just wrong - in the same way that slavery was wrong all those years ago - (and still is). It doesn't matter how 'free range' or well treated you think your slaves are - ultimately they are still slaves. Which is why I'll happily criticise people who eat meat, not through ignorance of the facts, but when they know the facts and still eat meat. The only other relevant fact one needs to know is that eating meat and dairy is just not necessary for good health - in fact the opposite is true. It's now 2007, it is time to wake up.
