I spoke to a casual acquintance this weekend and I mentioned had become a vegetarian, which led to a conversation about how this person's father in law owned a farm and used to do his own butchering, he actually explained how they killed their cows and I couldn't believe it, if a person killed a dog or a cat it would be deemed animal cruelty and they would be arrested or fined. Why is it "ok" in the state and government's eyes for slaughterhouses and private farm owner's to kill animals on a large scale, but not okay to harm more "domestic" animals? Don't misinterpret what I'm saying, I don't think it's okay to harm any animal it just seems like a double standard.
