Animal Abuse

Somewhere in my conscious, I’ve never felt right about eating animals.  In fact, over the last few months, I’ve had an extremely difficult time justifying the superficial pleasure of a taste of chicken over the death and suffering I know is behind it.

After catching a preview of abuse to appear on the 5 o’clock news, I check out the PETA site and was floored by the video of the abuse of at the chicken slaughterhouse.  Then there’s the 12 minute video, Meet Your Meat.

Having seen the most disturbing depictions of suffering I can recall, I will no longer consume meat or dairy products.  Well, I might have a couple shrimp every now and then, but I’ll work on that too.
