I don't think eating meat is cruel. However, there are some cruel places out there for animals. I try my best to buy from local farmers. Even though the end result is death for the animal, they don't have to live a cruel life before that time comes. Know what you are buying.
Give me a freaking break here, if mankind was developed to just eat vegetables and grains, we would all have teeth like cows and sheep.
Why is it PETA is not denouncing the animals of the world that eat meat, dogs, cats and birds.------Worms are meat and crows swoop in on road kill, Buzzards and sea gulls also.
Our human body's are made to eat most anything for survival, the very reason we have Canine teeth to shred meat and molars to crunch grains and nuts.
These PETA people remind me of the Flat Earth Society.
