Totally agree!
I remember reading an article about farms in china that raised st. Bernard dogs for meat. I was horrified.. There were some people who wanted the USA to "do" something about it. How could we when we eat meat? I know we view dogs/cats as different ....(I do) but until we look at the treatment of the animals that is our source of meat we really are being somewhat hypocritical!
What change me was the video Food inc. .. I will not buy certain brands now and have a real problem with pork.. How can we eat an animal that wags its tail?
I do not have a problem with fish and chicken.
