I know you all are gonna HATE hearing this, but I've been dating a vegan for over 3 years, she's a PETA activist, and she has A LOT of good points.
I eat meat, love it, will always eat it. The way production animals are treated is absolutely inhuman though. A lot needs to be changed. God did put all of the animals on earth, and I think we should treat them with more respect.
I still think we should eat them, as do many PETA members. Many have no problem eating meat, as long as it was raised and killed in an human fashion.
I love milk, but my girlfriend showed me an article about dairy cows and I haven't drank milk since. I still love it and would love to drink it, just not from a dairy farm. I won't say what the fact is unless you want to hear it. I promise, many of you will probably never drink milk again if you only knew.
