Anonymous asked: The methods for animal slaughter/production are actually less humane than ever. Read "Eating Animals" by Foer, or "do your research" with a Google search. Factory farmed animals make up 99% of meat that we consume, and they are not treated 'humanely.' There is almost no such thing as "a good farmer." How can there be when there is so much demand for meat?

Google the Humane Slaughter Act. It’s against the law to slaughter an animal “inhumanely” for commercial use unless it is for religious practice.

I am seeing all these posts about going vegan/veggie because people want to stop animal cruelty and it is being encouraged by none other than PETA.

Really, people?! Please think for yourselves. If you want to go veggie because YOU think it is wrong to eat meat or whatever, than by all means, do it, BUT do not let an organization such as PETA be the one to convince you to do so. PETA is responsible for many animal deaths each year (and yes, there’s proof of it!). Celebrities back them up for the media. They don’t understand what it really going on behind PETA’s closed doors.

But what about the animal slaughter? There is no “nice” way to kill an animal. We physically and evolutionarily are omnivorous so we are meant to eat both plants and meat (yes, you can get protein from plants but I am just simply stating what we are physically built for). The methods used to slaughter an animal today are much more “humane” than ever before and, believe it or not, a good farmer will treat his livestock with as much respect as can be. That is his livelihood right there so he is not going to put out poor quality meat that endured neglect or something along them lines.

I am all for the lifestyle that YOU choose to live but I just wanted to make it clear that nobody should influence your decision on how you should live your life, especially an “organization” like PETA. 

Please do your research. Thanks.
