I too grew up on a farm but we didn\'t have animals (we did but long ago). I\'m off the farm now but I see nothing wrong with eating animals. By nature, we are omnivores. We need meat to survive. I mean whats the difference between a lion brutally shredding its victim and humans slitting the throat of a cow? We are animals too and we are stalked and killed for food but thats ok but when we kill animals for food, its wrong. I have no problem with vegetarians but PETA I really hate. I hope they all choke on their kurds and whey.
