One more thing and then I promise to shut up for the night. If you guys want to read THE fucking book on Animal Rights/veganism please go to your local library and check out a copy of Peter Singer's "Animal Liberation". I'm dead serious, this book will fucking flat-out blow you away, gang. Whether you choose to go vegan or not, I guarantee you'll never look at "food animals" in quite the same way ever again after reading this book. This bad boy covers EVERY possible angle connected to animal rights/veganism (ethics, environmental issues, historical over-views and examinations of meat-eating throughout the ages, accounts of standard factory-farm and slaughterhouse practices, etc., etc., etc.,). Man, I just can't stress enough how compelling and important this book is, so please give it a shot the next time you're looking for something good to read, y'all. >
