I agree. I'm completely puzzled by people who eat meat but refuse to eat certain kinds for "humane" reasons. There's not a huge difference in the treatment of all mass-raised farm animals.^ What about pigs? If not killed, they live a long time...10-15 years, but they are killed at 6 months. I don't eat veal, but with the humane raising I don't get these reasons since other animals are treated just as bad. I think that chickens are treated just as bad for eggs (stay in place so eggs can drop down) and cooped in red rooms all day. I say instead of fighting veal, just fight everything and eat organic.

I agree with this. All farm animals whose "purpose" is for meat are not treated humanely at all throughout the whole process. I think it's all awful, that's why I am a vegetarian.I'm completely puzzled by people who eat meat but refuse to eat certain kinds for "humane" reasons.

Whole Foods is wonderful for that. (And their fish is seal friendly. It is not purchased from companies who support the Canadian seal hunt.)^^ Oh, I love meat, and try to buy organic meat when possible.
Lamb is difficult. I don't eat it that often to worry about it. And I don't know whether it's actually lamb and not mutton. (I'd have a problem eating lamb, but not mutton.)exactly! i've never eaten veal and never will. i don't eat lamb either. i can't eat anything so young.

I'm not trying to shame anyone, I'm just pointing out that it's contradictory (I would say hypocritical, but that implies intent). I could disagree with someone's choice to eat all kinds of meat, but they would at least be ideologically consistent. Do you see what I mean?(I'm not asking you Aslan specifically, as I find no fault in your answer whatsoever) but people love to pass judgement on people who only eat specific meats, and always in threads like this, yet if someone began a thread on the aformentioned subject there would be nobody telling them that it makes no sense and shaming them for only doing that one small thing (not buying conflict) well who can really argue the good of it? (I personally always wonder if it's a conscience thing) but anyhoo...
