"When non-vegetarians say that "human problems come first," I cannot help wondering what exactly it is that they are doing for human being that compels them to continue to support the wasteful, ruthless exploitation of farmed animals."

Also, I could never sleep at night, knowing that I have just eaten a life of a lonely, defenseless, tortured animal.

Love animals, don't eat them or wear them, they are the greatest companion any person could have.
