Thanks, Emmy!

It would not be too hard to cut down on animal proteins. I already do not eat red meat because I cannot digest it. I don't ever touch pork for the same reason. And I eat chicken and turkey fairly rarely, actually. Milk and cheese would be a bit harder- those are my vices, a BIG part of my diet. But after seeing those dairy cows on the video, I think I'll feel sick if I do drink milk

You know, along the lines of what both you and Mlyn have said, I do think it's a part of the life cycle and in accordance with my spiritual beliefs, it's ok to eat meat and milk and cheese BUT only sparingly, and not as a main source of nutrition like we Americans tend to do. I would support farmers raising their animals in humane ways. How do I find them and buy their milk and cheese, though? Ya know?

That video was completely DISGUSTING and terrible. I couldn't sleep all night because images popped in my head. I had to turn on a movie to distract my brain from it. But for some of us, myself included, it takes a video like that to convince us. I had NO idea how bad it was. I cannot believe people would treat a living being in such a way. I watch Animal Precinct and Miami Animal Police on Animal Planet all the time, in fact I watched MAP last night, just before getting back online and watching this awful stuff. Let me tell you, the cruetly that you see on those shows is generally NOTHING compared to what I saw in Peta's video!

Anyway, like I say, my goal is not to get all preachy here. I just shared this site with my FELLOW meat-eaters (cause yes I am one) because I know I appreciated it being shared with me.

We can continue to talk over pms about this if you'd like to, because I would really like that! And I don't want to offend anyone or push vegetarianism in anyone's face.
