However, my bottom line is I don't agree with the idea of killing animals simply for us to eat them. The bad farmer vs. big business argument is simply getting in the way of my original argument - that we shouldn't be carnivores at all.
It's an interesting albeit rather radical point of view. Where do you set your limit. Is it okay for us to kill animals which are a nuisance? Is it okay to bash insects? Is it ok to kill rats so they don't "flood" our sewer systems?
