So glad that I gave up eating meat. So glad that I can look in any animal's eye and say...

263. I live my from what I know. Do you live your life from what you know?

We know that piglets have their teeth pulled out with pliers and their tails cut off and their ball cut off with zero benefit of pain killers,

Yum yum.

We know that calves are separated from their mothers and both the calf and the mother cry. We know that often that calf is enclosed in a pen without their mother and slaughtered a few months later.

Yeah. They are just dumb animals who are forced to birth another calf who is taken away and then another episode of grief. And then another and then another and then another. A lifetime of grief and exploitation until they are hauled off to the glue factory.

Have you met a cow. Have you laid down with a cow. Have you skritched a cow abbot a cow's ears. Have you patted a cow's haunch. Have you ever looked into a cow's eyes and sweetly said, " Hey, what a good cow, such a beautiful cow, best cow in the world."
