I have nothing against people that eat meat but I am totally against factory farming and that is why im vegetarian. No animal deserves to be treated so awfully before it is then killed. We MUST go back to family owned farms and the only way to do that is to lower the demand for meat.

@peopleorsheeple i agree 100%.

an excellent book revealing the hellish effects of factory farming is David Kirby's "Animal Factory." it was in those pages where i learned to become more selective in which meats i purchase- eventually choosing, as you, to become vegetarian. well, semivegetarian: i still bite my fingernails and sometimes suck the mysterious pus from the cyst on my right pinky.. which was probably given birth to by the growth hormones of yesterday's mad meat-fixes.

@snowbunnylicious dogs need PROTEIN in their diet - meat being just one of a vast variety of sources. i've recently read of a dog who lived to be 27 on a vegetarian diet! beans, whole grains, pasta.. dogs love to eat that stuff. i suppose the pleasure exists mostly in having it served to them by someone they trust and cherish having in their lives.

the point of this campaign is to raise awareness that all animals should be treated equally: with radiant adoration.
