Ah, it is SO nice to hear other people say exactly how I feel. I just decided long ago that I can't look my three cats in the eye and love them as much as I do, but turn around and eat OTHER animals. To me, a living being is a living being. Small family farms are one thing, in my opinion they are not the problem. The problem is the HUGE factory farms where animals are tortured and abused their whole lives. It saddens me that this cruelty is "okay", and I swear I'll never eat another living creature. My daughter - soon to be born in just over 4 weeks! - will also be raised vegan. Meat is NOT healthy and is not a necessary part of a healthy diet.
My two cents.
