i eat meat, but i still am affected by these images, maybe in part because half my family is vegetarian, because i do like animals, because i have some idea about how horribly these animals are treated while alive and during the slaughtering process, and because of the ecological havok wrought by factory livestock farms, which is significantly greater than the ecological havok wrought by factory plant farms.

but all these people are full of shit that are complaining about how inhumane is slaughtering all these pigs. they would be slaughtered in an inhumane way anyway.

I feel for animals, but I try not to think about the above posted pictures as I cut into my steak and eat my chicken. As far as I'm concerned it's just human nature to eat meat and I don't think being an animal rights activist will do much good for animals anyway. It's an industry based on making money. I mean we can prove that the burning of fossil fuels is ruining the planet, but there is nothing we can do to stop the oil industry and I feel the same way about the food industry. We cant really fight it (I mean I know we can but with what good?) so I just don't think about it.

And the poor piggies comment wasn't sarcasm. I feel bad for the cow too, but I just don't think about it when I eat meat because it is gross, and I'm probably an asshole.
