Veg*n Is this alright to eat??

In my opinion the problem with eating meat is factory farming. One of the only ways to stop factory farming is to stop eating meat OR support a family farm. If this man is running a family farm then, in my opinion, you are doing nothing wrong. In fact you will be helping him to continue his farming techniques and stop a factory farm from buying him out.

I'm sure you will get responses from people about not eating animals no matter what. I respect that opinion but happen to see things differently.

Humans are omnivours. We eat both vegetable matter and meat. The only reason we can choose to be vegetarians is that we have the knowledge to create a balanced diet without the meat. We are made, however, to need a certain amount of protien whether it's through vegetarian suppliments or animal flesh.

In the end it's up to you. I think whatever you choose is the right thing. In this scenerio there is no wrong choice.

Thank you...your response has helped me a lot. I personally have no problem eating meat and I beleive that we are omnivours, but I couldn't stand buying meat knowing what the animals went through. I think I will buy this meat, because I really do want to support this farmer, since he is so good to his animals. I know that other people have different opinions on this and I am open to them, but I really just wanted to know if this went against everything that animal rights stands for or if humane killing was "acceptable".

Its up to you since you are your own person & have to make your own decisions.

Personally, after being veggie for about four months, I wouldn't even consider eating meat whether the animals were treated well or not. Ultimately, they will still have to die so that you can have your meal...happy little frolicking piggies one minute and dead the next.

But that's just my opinion...its up to you!

P.S I don't think there is such a thing as 'humane killing'!
