Round Two in my battle with the furry little chompers of my herbs

72. I agree, but I don't eat animals.

I'm 99% plant-based. I make an exception for a bit of cheese every two weeks or so, and for situations when I go out and there is no vegan option available, in which case I get the vegetarian option. I haven't had meat, poultry, or fish in over four years.

If one insists on eating animals, the only honest way to do it is to kill and dismember the animal oneself. But it's still cruel. If you watch animals for any length of time -- even squirrels -- you realize they're much more like us than most people like to believe.
