The cruelty to this poor cow was so horrible and so heartbreaking. I really cannot understand how people who have these jobs live themselves. What are they made of to be able to be so desensitized to the suffering of another living being? To have no compassion or love or care for animals, is beyond my understanding. When is this cruelty going to stop?

Personally, I'm working towards cutting out dairy products but still haven't completely got there so I didn't sign the pledge yet, not until I feel I'm almost there.

I know eat soy cheese, and tofu cheese spread but I still need to work on it. I am so addicted to cheese its not funny but I'm making some changes over the last 2 weeks and need recognize that I have had some success, just need to go all the way.

I have been flexitarian since May, 1992, A footnote: a man whom the Left worships, Bill Clinton, ate at McDonald's in 1992, receiving mass support from the public and the media, one reporter went to so far as to say "that made him a 'regular guy'".

We can easily get by on two small servings of meat a month.

I notice restaurant menus are meat, meat, meat, every dish, three meals a day.

I ask you - if you oppose the war in Iraq: do you know it takes forty times the fossil fuel to produce a pound of protein from feedlot beef as from soybeans?
