I know that people will always eat meat, and there will always be such things as slaughterhouses, but it's hard for me to see one in front of my very nose. I always had a deep love and sympathy for animals, and it is hard for me to see any harm being done to them. This morning, when I drove to work, I got teary -eyed over a road kill, a beautiful raccoon lying on the street, with his mouth wide open from his last cry of pain... I cannot stand things like that.

I agree with you Kirsten, I feel the same way.

I am a meat eater & so are my animals but that doesn't mean that the
food we eat shouldn't have a good, painfree life & when they do die it MUST
be in the most humane way possible always.
