Does this mean that we don't have hearts? What's more cold?

Both seem cold to me, and I'm a vegetarian due to that reason... I don't buy "big slabs of beef."

I'm not just talking about you, but the general population of people. It is a fact that almost every single person in this world eats meat or animal products, most of which come from horrible places. To me it seems harsh to call almost every single person heartless.

the reason i am asking is because foxhunting has just been banned in the uk, the ban will start in a few months, meaning lots of people will lose their livelihoods, and a lot of hounds and horses will lose their lives

I am horrified, and know what will happen to a large ammount of those hounds. But no i do not agree on using dog to kill another animal.
