I must have been too objective when I posted it. However, I didn't want any misunderstandings when there is already too many against vegetarians. Most would feel that eating meat would make us strong. That's because meat takes a lot longer to digest and we don't feel hungry that fast. Mindsets about being a vegetarian will be there. I have been one for a long time though not as long as you have. I don't take any kind of meat, either red or white. Perhaps I didn’t make myself clear.

I prefer not to eat animals that run away when they are hunted. Yes, I know, the fish run away; I am being hypocritical. I didn't use to eat fish, either. I understand your argument that plants are also alive; however, I believe that animals suffer and feel pain and fear in a way that plants do not. If I were starving, I would probably eat meat. But since I am not starving, I choose to eat things that did not suffer and die so that I could eat them. I also believe that a person who kills and dresses an animal (hopefully, in a respectful way) has the right to eat it; however, I just buy it already packaged neatly in the grocery store. It doesn't seem to be a piece of an animal when it is neatly packaged like that. I didn't appreciate the animals' sacrifice when I ate meat because of that, so I decided (when I was about 21 years old) that I would not eat meat any longer. It's almost 40 years since I made that decision! I don't regret it. You probably think I am crazy, but at least you believe that each person should be able to choose for himself or herself what to eat. I agree! Enjoy your meat, and I will enjoy my vegetables, grains, nuts, and fruit. I don’t eat meat or poultry, although I do eat seafood (fish, shrimp…).

Do you mean soul instead of sense? If we want to mind about all the creatures so we shouldn’t cut trees to build houses or to make paper because trees have sense like us.
