My own family, and most of my friends are not vegan or vegetarian. It is hard to get away from animal products when you have spent most of your life being told you need those things for your health. An outright lie by the way. Don't want to start a war here, so please don't take this the wrong way.
I am just curious about how people can feel so passionate about only some animals and how they justify it.
You may want to look into the work done by Temple Grandin on working with animals raised for meat and just how we all that work for with them bust our tails to keep them comfortable as we can all the time even in death.

So if we do not raise them to eat and take care of them in the process what do you think we should do with them turn them loose for them to do what?
