Better II

"The astronomical number of animals being raised and killed for food makes it essentially impossible to treat the animals in any fashion that the average person would consider humane. Nevertheless, you should also reflect on whether you would consider it acceptable to be eaten even if someone promised to treat you better before killing you."
--Nedim C. Buyukmihci, V.M.D., when asked the question "I don't want to give up meat. Couldn't we just treat the animals better?"
