People always cite "preventing cruelty to animals" as one of the reasons. Humans are omnivores and are designed to eat meat, chimpanzees are even known to eat meat in the wild occasionally, so to me it seems natural to eat meat, part of the food chain. I would of course like that the animals aren't subjected to any unnecessary suffering so I buy free range etc.
Think about this too: if everyone became vegetarian, what would happen to all the farm animals? I doubt that they'd be kept if there wasn't a profit to be made, so all our livestock would die anyway.
Your comments please.
