Some of us take longer than others to "get it".  I am sorry to say I was one of them.  It is not only about the animals, but ourselves as well.  Nature intended a balance, and I have learned we are upsetting that balance in so many ways.  The devastation to our rain forests to make way for cattle farming is one. Cruelty to animals who are raised only to be turned into food that really is not fit to eat especially with the antibiotics and poor diets they are given.  The cruel treatment of the way they are slaughtered is disgusting, and the harm meat and dairy does to our health constituting a deplorable high cost of health care. As we have evolved over the centuries in many way, we have lost our humanity, our compassion, and have become desensitized by the constant exposure to death and violence on tv and the internet.  As we discuss and complain about the way not only animals are treated, but how we destroy our health by eating them, I find that in this forum we are preaching to the choir.  There are many documentaries that echo the concerns being voiced here, I only hope that somehow the rest of the world will get it.  The destruction of the human race will be our own.
