The Question (ID Number 59)...

Considering the Taker abominations of mass breeding and inhumane slaughter of factory farming, I think you HAVE to condemn meat-eating as wrong.

...and the response:

Like you, I detest mass breeding and inhumane slaughter, but the existence of these things doesn't make it wrong to eat meat, any more than the existence of garment-industry sweat shops make it wrong to wear clothes or the existence of clear-cutting timber companies make it wrong to read books.
