dc.description.abstract	This qualitative study explored the motivations of vegetarians by means of a survey questionnaire. Responses to questions were gathered from 25 participants and a follow up in-depth interview was conducted with 11 of those participants. Respondents were predominantly from Thimphu, Paro and Phuentsholing. Sixty percent were females and ages ranged from 18 to 55, with a median of 31 years. Data was analyzed using a thematic approach. While this research found that religious belief and ethical issues concerning animal welfare were the main motivators for the participants’ vegetarianism, a significant number of them also reported health benefits from being vegetarians, which provides enough reasons for continuing to follow vegetarian diet.	en_US
