Shame on you for ruining this post. It is about protecting dogs and cats. At least take this victory.

Do you eat meat? If not, what have you done for the animals of the world? Or do you just angrily voice your opinion and clear disgust for meat eaters? Do you educate? Help people adjust to a meat free life by providing tips on what to eat? Do you go into poorer neighborhoods and help establish community gardens? Do you work with organizations that help clean the oceans so turtles are not being caught in our trash. There are plenty of counties where animals roam free. These countries have some of the most expensive meat because of it. What is your gripe honestly? I’m curious. Is it the treatment of animals overall? Meat eating overall? I bet you’re not helping regardless.

In some countries, a dog is as good a meat source as a cow is. While some people have cows, pigs, etc...as pets, they are not considered pets in our society. They were used as a food source for years. Dogs over time were breeded to create a companion for humans. Just because a person eats meat, doesn't mean they want pigs to be cooped up in small spaces so they can eat their own feces, for dairy cows to have their males killed because their not useful and to be pumped full of steroids, or to have chickens cooped in dark spaces packed wall to wall, just to create a quantity big enough to feed America's greedy citizens.

Agreed, I cannot stand how people put dogs and cats on a pedestal but cows, pigs, sheep etc can be abused daily and no one cares. You get down voted by angry nest eaters who are annoyed at you being their conscience. There is no difference apart from societies perceptions.

*meat eaters not nest eaters

Lol @ the downvotes. What is the difference between killing a puppy and killing a cow? Y'all are hypocrites.

Kori - if any vegan gives a meat eater advice on what to eat or why eating meat is bad do you know what happens?? We get shouted down and told to keep our mouths shut. Why should it be anyone's job but your own to figure out why eating meat is bad for you, the planet and the animals? Please tell me what you're doing to help the cause?
