>So do cows, pigs, lambs, and all the animals that HUMANS eat. It is >called the food chain. A natural process. Ah yes... but some humans rise above it. Meat in our diet is not necessary to maintain good health. Unlike our fuzzies, we do have a choice. I do not want to get into a debate on vegetarianism here. It's not the forum for it. The point the original poster was trying to make, I'm sure, is that it's difficult to watch an animal be killed or suffer. Some of us are squeamish, you know. Even reading about it is difficult for me, and I do not read all of the posts because I don't want to know the details. It is really hard to love one animal and watch another be destroyed, IMHO. -Caity Martin (8 carniverous ferts and one vegetarian mom) ____________________________________________________________ Caitlyn M.
