Human beings are omnivores. You may choose to be a vegetarian, but guess, what? I don't. And there isn't a single holier-than-thou argument that any vegetarian/vegan can invent that invalidates the natural order of things.
If you want to argue whether or not food production methods are humane, that is one thing. But animals are not all equals. They are either predators or they are prey. Predators eat the prey. Grade one science class. Sucks to be the pigs and cows who are our prey.

Your totally right, that is your choice and I am ok with it. What I am not ok with is inhumane treatment in slaughterhouses, watching pigs hung up and gutted alive while they swing and suffer among other sufferings that other animals go through. Anyone who thinks different go ahead and youtube a video of a slaughterhouse, there are plenty. Even worse is animals being used for medical experiments, not only is the animal put through severe trauma but most of the times the experiment fails as we are different species. If we need to move forward in medicine for cures and I think we do then why not use death row inmates or multiple life sentence criminals? You would get better results and we would not have to pay to feed criminals who have chosen that path and are no longer a use to society.
