I use to visit my relatives in Prince Edward Island in Canada and they had wild cows who just ate grass all day. I use to spend all my time with them, patting them, naming them and talking to them. They are really like massive dogs.
I think if each of us had to kill our own food before we ate it not many of us would eat meat or if we all had to take a tour through a slaughter house and see animals skinned "alive". Yes many of them are still fully conscious when they are skinned. Its just all really sad. I believe someday they will find a way to kill these animals quickly and give their short lives more comfort. Please dont tell me these animals die quickly because they dont. Imagine standing in a line watching everyone in front of you strung up by their ankles and their necks hacked open and then sent down a line as they wiggle around trying to get free.

I have killed my own food plenty of times and will continue to do so at every opportunity. Im not gonna be a smart ass about how God put them here for us to eat or anything like that but to some degree it is the truth. 200-300 years ago do you think you ever saw someone running around the villages crying about the poor animals? No, not saying there were no vegetarians back then but there were no stores to run to and get your special foods so people ate what they could. If you wanna eat rabbit food have at it, its your choice, but seriously, stop whinning to everyone else about the poor animals.
PS
I will say that the way these animals are treated is shitty, when I refer to people killing there own food I mean people who actually go out and sit in the woods and wait and kill there food quick and not torture them.
