no time for compassion,

tastes pleasant on a plate,

I can't agree with you on this one at all. God gave us animals (cows....chickens....birds...ect.) to eat . So there is nothing wrong with it. The only thing that is wrong with killing animals is killing them for personal pleasure.....rituals.....or killing them and not using all of their body for something. This comment may sound sick minded...but as long as we are killing them ONLY for nutrional value....then I don't belive there is anything wrong with that. Besides....I have a dog......I love animals....it's just a way of life.
