I am more concerned about the wages and living/working conditions of the people picking the tomatoes and lettuce. I am also more concerned about the federal agents that are overworked and understaffed that are asked to inspect our slaughterhouses. When I watch Animal Planet I, too, cry wondering how can anyone be so cruel to an animal. I love my steak medium rare if you don’t mind.

But i am a carnivore. I love meat. I don't really care if it's grown in a test tube or fresh from the farm. you should watch the simpsons episode titled "lisa the vegetarian".. it will put it into perspective... the secene wwhere the boy gets to visit a slaughterhouse. true… some of these slaughterhouses are aweful..

I like ham and turkey (sometimes together on one sandwich), so I have managed to avoid slaughterhouses all my life. Maybe I will see one after I go to that great deli in the sky. But they say slaughterhouses are the closest things to hell on earth you've ever seen ... They say if you really want to stop eating meat, then just visit your local slaughterhouse.

I do feel the same way you do. I am an avowed omnivore (evidence my dinner of stuffed chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans), but I cannot bear to watch the videos that PETA loves to broadcast. I can't even watch "Animal Cops" on Animal Planet. It makes me cry every time I watch it. Heck, the ASPCA commerical with Sarah McLachlan makes me tear up. I love animals. I love to cuddle with my kitties, and I love my beef medium rare with a nice au jus. Terrence, in Haiti, your dog would *be* dinner. I do feel the same way you do.

And I'm not really sure where these PETA people are coming from. I'm sure a lot of them watch Animal Planet. A few times I've seen a show on which dogs are at the end of the show rescued. But that's in the last two or three minutes. The rest of the show shows dogs being horribly treated. I couldn't watch it. The person who was watching it was someone I worked with. She's an animal rights activist and was glued to the set. I caught occasional glimpses of the show, but couldn't stay in the room. I love animals. I'm a dog person. We treat our dog as well as any pet owners. She's spoiled and probably eats better than half the kids in Haiti. Does our dog have a right to this treatment? I think not. The word privilege comes to mind though. Given your subject matter today, asking us to type in an ” anti-spam ” word is pretty damn appropriate.
