All animals have thoughts and feelings and often I feel quilty about eating meat. I look at my Chow Chow and I think about, that in some parts of the world, at one time they were bread and raised for consumtion, and some people still do, today. I cant, imagine the slaugter of such a beutifull, thinking, feeling creature. Both my dogs communicate with their various body postures and all their different barks and vines and I know what they are saying to me. There are people who keep pet livestock and they communicate in similar ways and could not imagine the slaughter of their pet, even though they are commercialy raised just for that. So, all though, the human race has evolved, it hasn't evolved enought to stop
the suffering of farm animals, myself included.
