(28,125 posts)Before I read your post, I was going to post : "That hamburger you're eating once had a personality!"
Shamefully, I'm only a semi-vegetarian-- I still eat seafood (no octopus or squid), fish, chicken, & occasionally (holidays) beef & ham. I cannot watch my hubby & son eat their damn bloody steaks - once stayed in a restaurant's restroom until my son finished his.
I grew up on a farm where I got very emotionally attached to the critters.
Would most Americans eat dogs? Cats? Horses? Why not?
Where & how do folks draw their "lines"? We usually eat only what we've been conditioned to accept without thought.
Food for thought.

(17,297 posts)Im embarrassed to say it took me much longer to put it all together and connect torture and killing with what I bought at the grocery store in plastic wrap.
Ive been at it 10 years and could never go back now. Its also the single biggest thing we can do for our planet. 🙂

Saving this to share with so many friends who have dogs. I don't know anybody who has a cow. Darn!
