I find it both peculiar and disconcerting that a person can wander the outdoors, gazing at Mother Nature, remarking upon her wonders, standing stock still, awestruck, to admire a baby animal and it's mother, then casually sit down and eat a ham and cheese sandwich.

And even worse still are the abominable ways in which humans further disrespect the animals they eat, even after they've been tortured and slain.  Just look at any delicatessen or supermarket, and note all the abominations purportedly to be "meat", but which contain those scraps which were left after all conventional cuts of meat, and all other desirable or usable portions removed, mixed with various chemicals, fillers, binders, starches, laboratary created flavours, colours, etc...Is this all an animals life is worth? 

And what about our own lives?  Those who willingly eat the flesh of an animal that has been raised, tortured and slain in the factory farms that are so common these days, have surely polluted their bodies, not only with the chemicals and drugs the animal has been subjected to, but also the tortured soul of the poor beast that has suffered so.  But to then purchase the aforementioned abominations of processed meat products is an insult both to the animal that suffered, but to collective human intelligence, surely.
