In regards to eating meat

[Monica]

Yes, in NC. And there is a huge demand for raw milk, and I am too scared to sell it .

That's really sad. Yet another reason to get Ron Paul elected, since he intends to dismantle the FDA. But I digress...

Monica, perusing through this thread, I can't readily find a clear answer to this question (though we've somewhat discussed it before):

Do you automatically equate meat-eating with cruelty to animals?

I answered that question in detail, in this post:

Humane treatment of meat animals is a very real reality, one that I live every day. If I took a picture of my view from my window right now, you'd be envious of the life my goats and chickens live.

I am involved in the meat industry for the very intention of bringing the realization of the atrocity of the mass meat industry. But awareness is growing and more hope is added to my already abundant hope every day that things are changing.

It's not my place to judge you or anyone else. This isn't a game of "who's the purest of us all". It's a process of raising awareness, and changing our reality to one that isn't violent. You are part of that very important process of change. I commend you for that!
