Animal cruelty is absolutely wrong, you are correct.The law doesn't punish harshly enough for these misdeeds.
I think there are farmers who do need to be taught better.All creatures human or animal deserve to have a good quality of life.
I do not think there is anything wrong with being vegan or vegetarian, I have a problem with others telling me that because I eat meat that somehow I am inferior to them.I am not saying that you have or anyone else, just a general overall feeling I get from speaking to Vegans.
The bible contradicts itself and everything must be taken into context. To say we should or shouldn't do something because the bible says so, depends on how you interpert it, and whether or not you believe in it at all.
I too believe in choice either way.Personnal choice.Just don't tell me that I'm wrong for choosing my way.If when we meet in heaven and God says I can't come in because I ate meat,then so be it.
Little Minnie, I hope you are feeling better and can get through this little bump in the road.we are here to support each other no matter what and we do try. I have never tried tofu and soy is NOT my best friend so i hope you find something to work out for you.Food seems like such a chore anymore.We have to constantly be thinking about what we put in our mouths and man that is exhausting.
Sending good thoughts your way Chris
