19. So I'm curious is most of the objection is to the factory farming aspect and how it treats animals

or Is it all meat eating in general. I ask because I have heard many different arguments on the subject. Personally I am against factory farming and how animals are treated and I don't eat meat from places like that. But I have plenty of friends back in New York who moved out to Pennsylvania who raised their own animals and hunted for their food as well as having met some people in Texas that do the same. In fact I buy the meat and egg I do eat from a friends of my fathers who has a farm outside Houston. But anyway that'd kind of off topic videos like this show mass corporate farming which like I said earlier I object to completely and wish more people would open their eyes to how terrible it is. But there are less cruel ways to get meat. Death is part of the natural order of life and the human race has been eating meat forever the key was respect with nature and a balance.

Are they traumatized? LittleBlue Nov 2013 #3
