Um, so beating or neglecting a companion animal is wrong, but killing and eating them is okay!??! that makes 0 sense to me.

Lalania, read a little more carefully!!! The good thing Liz refers to is the fact that consumption of companion animals is not an issue here!

In my opinion.. beating and neglecting is far worse then eating... Before you say anything.. here is my argument...

Our society is constantly improving the conditions in which food animals are kept(Veal being the one exception). Especially with the growing desire for "Free-Range" meats, animal farming is becoming far more civilized. The animals live with the ability to run, interact and always have food and housing.... this is a far better situation then neglect or abused animals.

This brings about a serious question... why all the improvements in food animal care... and very little increase in the laws about abuse, neglect and killing of Companion animals???

I did read it....anyway, I agree that FARM ANIMALS should be free-range but they are still traumatized before they die in the slaughterhouses. I was referring to companion animals like horses, dogs and cats.
