Go to 'Youtube' and search "Cattle Slaughter Line"...

I understand, brother, and that is the horrible reality of it. It breaks my heart and I can't really look either. I've seen things like the films by PETA and I guess some ppl would say how could I ever eat meat again!
I dont know that some of those films represent the food industry as a whole, and I imagine if there are more humane practices, they don't make the headlines, but I'm not making excuse for abuse.
(Of course, there are many things that would have ppl's heads and stomachs turning. Having an insiders 'been there' view, if most ppl knew what went on in alot of restaurants, they'd never eat out or order out again.
Same with the agricultural fields and industry.
But you're right, though. I am an animal lover, wanted to be a veterinarian, actually. I struggle watching the National Geographic channel for certain programs, and anytime I see one animal attack and kill another, I have to look away, it really affects me. And it reminds me of the fall, it wasn't part of God's original plan. So I guess I would be a hypocrite on this matter. I am feeling more pressure to change my diet, but it would be drastic, and would it really change anything? Meanwhile, I do like all kinds of food, and that even includes hot dogs.
