Vegetarianism and maltreatment of animal

[Guest guest]

The comments on the slaughterhouses sound horrific enough to be

unbelievable- and I know they are not. Years ago, I read a book called

" Poisons in our Food " , don't remember the authoe. It is about the meat

packing industry in Chicago. Imagine Patricia's comments, expanded to book

length. Bleecchhh!!! I couldn't look at meat for a very long time after

that, and now don't eat meat at all, but do eat seafood. The information

about toxic substances in farmed salmon, coupled with the new rulings about

including farm-spawned fish in counting the wild salmon population, so that

the fisheries can take more fish, makes me ready to give up salmon, as well!

What's next--cruelty to vegetables? Just because we can't hear them

screaming, does that make killing plants OK? Remember the seismic research

with tomatoes?

This is not at all sarcastic. I want to point out that we will not be able

to eat anything if we take the cruelty thing to extremes. Where do we draw

the line? I don't have an answer...
