condescending? how do you work that out? oh, here we go....the "you can't prove carrots dont have feelings" malarkey face it, you enjoy eating the flesh of a (once) living animal, 'cause you think it tastes good, which is all well and good when you are completely remote from its suffering and plight. you could be forgiven for failing to recognise that half the shit in the meat counter of a super market had anything to do with an animal, until the quality control fails and you get a nice piece of meat with a cyst in it... let me guess, you eat mat at least three times a week, but i bet you've never slaughtered an animal in your life.
