the question is; why do you care so much? Do you have a butcher shop and you're scared to lose proficts due to us vegetarian?
It's not that I care what you eat. PETA cares what I eat.
I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire

come on, I don't think that if you just ignore the leaflets of peta you'll have a bad life...
as for the pets: being vegan is a choice that i made for myself. i don't impose it to other people (but eventually talk about it), and neither to my pets.
These animals can be in the back of those trucks for up to 3 days without food or water. They can be shipped through horrendous cold or heat during that time. Cows and pigs don't have thick fur coats like some animals and need to be able to shelter themselves in freezing temperatures. There's a book called Slaughterhouse by Gail Eisnitz that interviews many different people who work in the animal slaughter industry. They openly discuss how sometimes the animals will literally freeze to the metal in the back of the truck. The workers then tear the animal off the metal, leaving flesh behind, to get it loose. This is just one of thousands of examples. The interent is full of video of meat industry workers torturing animals for fun. Beating a pig for over an hour, ripping chickens heads off while alive, dragging downed cows around by chains and tractors.
Plus people talk about humane living conditions for animals before being killed, but there's no such thing as humane slaughter. I'm not sure what show you watched but the large majority of pigs aren't put to sleep peacefully with a needle. The slaughter is a terrifying and painful ordeal for them. And let me stress this....unneccesary!!! We don't need to.

Yeah it seems like some reforms should def be made within the industry. The animal torture and poor working conditions that are characterized in the link are serious concerns; however, the same could be said for dangerous conditions in a lot of industry too. It doesnt mean I am going to stop wearing clothes or eating meat- maybe just make sure my clothes werent made by slave labor and the meat came from a local butcher or uses a more humane technique when killing the animals.
