Not all vegetarians are vegetarians because they don't like to kill animals. I consider myself a vegetarian because I don't agree with the USDA's standards for meat and poultry.

They don't give the animals clean water. They feed them diseased food, including the discarded parts of other sick animals.
when theyre born, the pump them full of growth hormones( the same hormones shown to speed up the growth of cancer cells in humans) and antibiotics wich don't allow for the natural strengthining of the immune system and makes diseases harder to fight. They are in cramped conditions often spending days on end standinf in their own feces which causes hoof/foot rot, plus there are worms in the shit that burrow up into the sores on the feet and get into the blood stream.

All that shit gets filtered in the bodies and stored in the tissue(the parts we eat)
and then we wonder why Americas kids are getting insanely obese (growth hormones) and why it is taking longer to get over bacterial/viral infections and needing the help of super strong mega-titanium strength anti-biotics.

I will eat hunted game (deer, elk, wild turkey, pheasant) but only in moderation ( the human intestine isn't really designed for meat). And I eat line caught fish as well.

At least theses animals had better water and food and fresh air.
