"Some modern-day analyses have speculated that Hitler's vegetarianism
may have been for health reasons due to Richard Wagner's historical
theories, or even a psychological reaction to his niece's death rather
than a commitment to animal welfare. In contrast, several eyewitness
sources maintain Hitler was a vegetarian because of his concern for
animal suffering, noting that he was often distressed by images of
animal cruelty and suffering, and was an antivivisectionist."

We can't ask Hitler, because he's not here. See the difference, Jill?
