Animals are people, too.

I just finished posting a comment to an article I read on Salon...
 
It made me catch my breath...in surprise, horror and shame.

To me, the worse part about the consumption of animals is, I feel horrible knowing how animals in this country are raised and slaughtered, and yet, I still eat meat and prepare it for my family. Meat is the centerpiece of my families diet. We eat a lot less of it than we used to, mostly for health reasons, but what will it take for me to, once and for all, remove it from the table?
