Still not explicit enough for you? Right, I'll have another go at making you understand. I'm not a vegetarian, nor a vegan. I do eat meat, about twice a week, and only free range.
While I believe an animal's life is equally valuable to a human's life
in principle, I also believe it is not intrinsically wrong for us to kill animals for food. We are omnivores after all, and happen to be on the top of the food chain. The problem is that the process has come to be commercialized and industrialized.
Btw I realize now this probably sounds a little contradictory. While I have always held the belief that animals' lives are equally valuable, I have only been plagued by my conscience about industrial meat and animal tested cosmetics for a little over 6 months.
