yeah i agree bum...animals should get a chance to be animals even if it was totally our decision to bring them into existence for food
about ten years ago, my best friend lived out in farm country across the road from a veal operation and i haven't tasted veal since them...it was dreadful
when i was in elementary school, i snuck into a commercial egg laying operation...it was a traumatic experience...i had no idea that food was produced like that (at the time i felt worse about eating anything coming out of that madhouse than for the things living in the madhouse)...those animals were treated like bugs...the egg mcmuffins get better conditions!
when i was seven or eight years old, i went to an old fashioned farm with our family doctor where the animals lived in great conditions...i helped pick out the best pig, and the farmer shot him on the spot (once to bring him down and another to finish him off after a great deal of struggling and squealing)...i had no idea that was going to happen...my mum had recently finished reading 'charlotte's web' to me too...we watched the pig being gutted, and then rode home with him in the trunk of the car...meat is cruel, even at a nice family farm...it's upsetting but more satisfying than brocolli salad and lentil beans
