However, it is true that I think I would treat a pig more ethically than you would, because I think killing and eating someone who likes to live isn't kind. Sometimes I do feel anger and shock and horror at what I see meat-eaters doing and supporting. I *am* at ground zero for animal agriculture here in Iowa--I know all too well what goes on. I don't feel it is condescending to point out that people ignore animal suffering.
