God forgive us. Reading that you might get the impression that I am now off to bomb a fur facility or something. No; I get it; I eat meat, and I can understand how our use of animals contributes to the survival of their species (if cows weren't good to eat, we'd have far fewer of them, etc.). And I believe people when they say they try to kill in a humane way. But 500 years from now, when we can grow meat and leather and what-have-you, they will look on us as barbarians. I don't have a so-what. Just a sense that animal products are in some way sacred, and deserve our respect at the very least.
