Personally, I tend to work on advocating free range, animal rights and ethical treatment of livestock. It's obviously a futile point, because apparently this place downvotes the heck outta people who disagree, but I feel that a more practical approach is to shift the entire meat-industry towards being at least vaguely closer to humane in the murdering of creatures.

I think that's a reality. I think we can actually do that. I think that there are too many backwater assholes out there who won't give a fuck about animals enough to ever stop eating their cheeseburgers, and they make up half the population... so, with a bit of work, we can at least change how their source of food is treated before it dies.

Trying to get people from one end of the spectrum to the other is impossible, but slowly working the worst to be at least mildly less awful raises the standards all around. Maybe someday the whole world will be ready to go vegan, but personally, I'm not a fan of the diet either. Financially, taste wise, experience all round... it's not for me, and that was just vegetarianism. Six months and I'm about ready to shank somebody when I go past a real sausage sizzle, don't think I can go through that again.

But, as ever, vegans just don't want to listen. -1 karma and counting, fire away... y'all never seem to run out of ammunition when it comes to your own feet.
