BUT the thing I don't agree with is how some places do it. It is extremely inhumane and I know God didn't mean for it to be that way. But He gave his people the ability to choose. Sadly, some choice the wrong.
I know a lot of people feel that way. I'm not very religious though. I believe in God but that's about the extent of it.

I love animals too much to support cruelty to them. I honestly would not be vegetarian today if animals were killed humanely for their meat. But then again, that's not very possible. If I knew the meat on my plate lived a healthy life and was treated well until it's very last breath, I could eat it. But that's not the way it is, and I can't go on pretending so like I did for the first 15 years of my life. I had this weird thing where I would not eat meat if it "looked" like the animal, like if the bone was still there. I was making myself believe it wasn't really an animal.

And now I'm very happy with my decision. I am much healthier both physically as well as in state of mind - because I do not worry about what is on my dinner plate. It's a pain in the butt sometimes, but well worth it.
