: I DON*T EAT MEAT BACAUSE I DON*T LIKE TO EAT DEAD ANIMALS...... I can't belive people who does it!!

The point for me is not that they are dead, or even that they were intentionally killed, but that they were kept in appalling conditions and may have suffered appalling pain. Copious evidence of this is available, for example at the Vegetarian Society. If it could be proved to me that no animals ever suffered due to being bred for meat, I *might* start eating meat again - but I'd have to be very, very sure.
