Woa! Have you ever read Fast Food Nation? A lot of meat is not
humanely raised or grown nor is it humanely killed. We live in farm
country so I can attest that livestock farmers while concerned about
their animals are only concerned for the market value. Have you ever
been to a slaughter house? Have you ever seen farm wives kill a chicken
by chopping it's neck off? Have you ever seen the poultry or other
livestock trucks transporting livestock to the slaughter houses? Don't
sit there and tell me anything about livestock slaugher is humane. Many
of the large scale fishing boats allow fish to suffocate. Fishermen
such as us knock the fish over the head to kill it instantly but I'm
pretty sure that hook in its mouth didn't feel all that great and really
wasn't too humane. If you were that concerned you would not eat meat at
all. You need to educate yourself before you start judging me.

How the **** do you think the US was established? You just said you ate
meat so you are being very hypocritcal. They don't bring those animals
into the slaughter house and sing them lullibyes! Maybe you should
check out how exactly whatever meat you eat is killed. I think you are
in for one rude awakening.

Really? I've been on the compassionate side of the mentally ill and
those living in poverty on another thread. Perhaps you missed those
posts? The comment FTR was made as a sacastic reply to your holier than
thou reply.

You're free to leave the species. IMO you are being deliberately
obtuse. Do you know any of the reasons behind the fox bounty? In your
country or ours? Why don't you do a little research on the topic and
get back to me.

And you are very judgemental without fully knowing the facts then you
come across as holier than thou because somehow you eat meat humanely
killed. Give me a break!

Actually it doesn't suck to be me. I have a great family, wonderful
friends, lovely house, nice lifestyle AND guess what, I eat meat. I'm
just not stupid enough to think that meat was humanely killed.
