You can't live in this world without contributing to animal cruelty so you might as well not cause such an argument... Are you a TAXPAYER? an estimated 12 billion dollars a year of Taxpayer money- the US Government uses towards experiments on animals that harm, causes pain, and even death on animals. You probably shop at wallmart and target- enabling them to continue ordering from meat from suppliers.
Animal abuse shouldn't happen but sadly- it's never going to end. If you eat meat- you're an animal abuse enabler, and If you don't eat meat- you're still an animal abuse enabler some other way.
(you probably buy your veggies from a farm or a store- the farmer had to poison and kill smaller animals to protect his crops- You putting money in his pocket to do it).
some Vegans love to point fingers at others (i see it all the time on yahoo answers) but they don't examine themselves first.
