Most belief systems believe in the Golden Rule, which could be summarized as “Don’t do anything you wouldn’t want done to do”.
When you view animals as living beings, with emotions, and the ability to feel pain just as we do, the barriers are taken down. They can be harmed, and to harm them would go against the Golden Rule. This would go against most belief systems.

When you start to live life with this consideration, peace comes into your life, knowing that you’re having less of a negative impact in the world, and isn’t that what most people seek? People want to be environmentalists (which animal agriculture, as a whole, does the most harm to the planet) they want to be healthy (vegetarians live longer and suffer from less health problems than those who eat meat) and want to treat all animals with compassion (why is the life of a dog worth more than a pig)?
Take baby steps. Research as much as you can, and I think a path to do less harm in the world will present himself.
