I have a personal passion for the respect of life in all of its forms. I draw a broad circle that includes not only human beings (therefore abortion, death penalty, war & torture and all forms of discrimination are out of question), but also animals (especially those raised as food, those tortured in labs, hunted, displayed in zoos and circuses...).
A vegetarian and/or vegan diet is the only choice for supporting this way to living and respecting all life on earth.

I also love urban gardening, permaculture and bringing back into our daily lives wholistic systems based on the natural world. It is rather obvious that our attempt to create artificialy systems (agrofarming, Western medicine, is pretty much a failure given the damage that it has created as a result. Therefore going back to nature's way of creating and preserving life is the only way.

Stephanie, it is true that we have no proof. What I meant to say was that most animals (domesticated and others) are by nature pure love and generousity. Walk out of your house 5 times and your dog will greet you as if every time was the frst time! Cows, pigs, chickens, when you get to know them personnally will blow your mind! They really have a personality, they get attached to you, communicate very clearly when you take time to listen.

I agree with you, they are not given any chance to do anything in the concentration camps that feedlots are. But given their intelligence and sensitivity it is very possible that they somehow know that they are sacrificing themselves to a lesser evolved specie in order to awaken their compassion. Since we are all on an evolutionary journey, if meat eaters knew that animals were capable of making such a sacrifice for us, maybe they would stop looking at them as mere commodity to dispose without any concern for their well being. That's all I was trying to suggest.
