Week 2 - Being a meat eater without the guilt...

OK so since learning about animal cruelty I've had a moral dilemma when it came to eating meat. I hate the way that animals are treated in the factory/mass production style farming. You'd really have to be heartless not to at least think twice about eating meat after you see a few video clips and/or read about the cruelty to the mass majority of those animals.

Either way, while feeling very bad about the treatment of animals and thinking that I should do something about it, I continued to eat meat.

Hypocritical?

Yes - very much so.

What if, however, you could still eat meat and not feel bad about it? I mean what if the animals that you ate were treated humanely?

What if they lived the life an animal should live before you ate them?

At that point I would eat the animal.

Why?

Because the animal lived a good life and without the farmer raising the animal to eventually become killed for food the animal would have never existed at all.
