I don’t agree with ending all killing of animals for food.
I enjoy a good steak, chicken and duck and a good pork roast.

However, I want decent conditions for animal husbandry for many reasons. Not the least is safe food handling so the meat we eat is safe. I buy meat whenever I can at Wholefoods or get Kosher meats who have higher standards for animal production and killing than the general meat companies.

Sure, the meat costs a little more, but it is safer and actually it tastes better cause all those antibiotics, etc aren’t in it.

I don’t want to be a vegan. But I want decent conditions for animals and safe food. If the general meat production companies can do that fine, if not, they should be exposed for bad and unsafe production.

I dont mind anybody that wants to be a vegan.
What does bother me is vegans who want to make everybody else become vegans thru force of law. ......

I think every family should have to raise its own food...every mouthful of meat, vegetables, fruit and milk. It would be totally safe that way. It would also be the cure for obesity.

You should be aware that the misnamed "Humane Society of the United States: HSUS" (an entity not to be confused with the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals: ASPCA), an the scam shop called "People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals: PeTA) are your enemies.
