I'm not sure why people who eat meat like meat that is from animals that are treated well, they get killed anyways!
I'll preface this by saying that I am not vegan, or even vegetarian. I am an unapologetic ominivore, and a I believe that humans evolved to be omnivores. I don't usually post in this forum, though I do read it. I support other people's decisions to be vegan/vegetarian, though, if that decision is a healthy one for you. I was, for years, and it was NOT healthy for me, so I started eating meat again. It turned out to be the right, healthy, decision for me.

That said, it is important for me that what I eat was treated humanely while alive, and was killed in a humane fashion as well. There is a HUGE difference between living a quality life, with humane treatment, and being killed quickly and with minimal pain; and from living the way most meat-farmed animals do, and then being killed in a way that often involves unnecessary pain and suffering. The horrors of the meat industry are very real, and I try to not contribute to that.
