You put into words the reasons why I don't like meat.After eating it I feel dirty inside, like something is not quite right. I think the torment and pain animals go through, is still in their flesh. |

I feel grateful in a way for growing up as I did. I was able to experience first hand what it was like to butcher animals. It wasn't until much later, that I realized how much emotional trauma it had caused me. Maybe as a child I was a bit over sensitive, but needless to say, slaughtering animals is never glorious or pretty.
