And I will reiterate: PETA may advocate vegetarianism and veganism, but this doesn't imply the reverse is always going to be true. In fact, your statement suggests PETA is the reason for vegetarianism and veganism in the world and it simply is not. You're converting this thread into something negative and THAT is what I take issue with.

i have to agree with DeviantlyD, Hill. you know what you're doing and why you're doing it. the "coy" look doesn't work on you. =p

and it's really nothing we haven't seen, anyway. people point out the hypocrisy of PETA as if that is the end all to any argument they get into with a vegetarian. go to P&R.

i don't think that any and every animal death is cruel. but i also don't think that people who get sad about a puppy being kicked while eating a conventionally farmed hamburger really know what they're talking about. Kaliko is right to mention distance -- most people are so very distanced from their food, and they can postulate about how much they love and respect animals, but at the end of the day, when you are paying for the processes that get your food to you through what basically amounts as "whatever means necessary," i don't see how you can say you "love" or "respect" those animals.

I have to question exactly what conventionally farmed hamburger actually is. I drive over 100 miles through Iowa farm country five days a week and I have yet to see one head of cattle that appears to be suffering. Unless wandering acres of pasture, grazing all day (when there is grass) is not conventional. It certainly is here and except for a very small number of places I have passed in Nebraska or Kansas (I get the two confused at times) it has been the same through all of my travels.

I will admit however, that hogs are entirely different and I am not a fan of how they are raised, from a humane perspective or a health perspective.

Fat and docile, big and dumb
They look so stupid, they aren't much fun
Cows aren't fun

They eat to grow, they grow to die
They die to be eaten at the hamburger fry
Cows well done
