And what do you propose happens to the hundreds of millions of cattle and hogs that are now being raised for slaughter? Turn them loose? Let them run wild?
Unbelievable!  | "The question is whether or not it is worth it". Indeed it is!
No, I don't propose that. Don't put words in my mouth. It's in the hands of the consumer, but unfortunately, having a good-tasting, meaty meal every night is more important to some people than the humaneness or the environmental effects of the meat industry.
If people realized the full impact of the industry (and what a negative impact it has), then they wouldn't be buying so much meat, or at least they'd start buying free-range, organic meats. | City boy. Good grief.
You guys are out of your minds.  | Great argument.
By the way, I'm not a city boy. More like a mountain boy. \"Are we justified in using articles, no matter how convenient it may be for us to use them, that we know were produced in conditions which bored and even stultified the human beings who had to make them?\"
