I agree with Kyle. There are people in Hindu cultures that think we are weird because we eat cattle. People who have pet rats think I am mean feeding them to a snake so it can live, while they eat their hamburger, and people of a Hindu descent think they are mean for eating it so they can live. It is all relative to person's beliefs. I am with the slogan: "Meat, it's what food is made of." And on that note, what makes a dog, a cow, a pig, or a sheep any better than a head of lettuce? It is alive, it produces seeds to propagate itself, and if it were a sentient being it would probably prefer not to die. But, it isn't a sentient being, therefore we do not feel bad about killing and consuming it. But, it is still killing a living creature. How many vegetables have to die to make one salad?
Again, it is all relative to one's experience and belief. For one creature to live, another must die.
