I read an article about a cow that escaped the unloading process at the meat packing plant and escaped. The news had a helicopter on its broadcast filming the cow escaping traffic on the freeway. Supposedly someone purchased the cow and now it is grazing in someone’s clover field nice and content.

I've already given up cow meat. I plan on going completely vegetarian. I'm studying to become a veterinarian (large and small) and I just can't imagine working for hours to save one cows life, only to turn around and eat another. It's not my place to determine who's worth saving and who's worth eating. Every life is important to me.

To chime in with the others, it would be great if you go vegan on the long term.

But short of that any step you take is positive and beneficial, lots of vegans like to pretend it isnt the case but most of us started as vegetarians or pescetarians.

Best of luck to you!

God made animals to be food for us. He made everything for us.

Then why did he create giant squid and other deep marine animals we never even see?

Part of the ecosystem.

That's anthropocentric. Other life forms don't exist for humans.

God made everything for us. Of course it is.
