Look, I know that humans are naturally equipped to eat meat--you can tell what an animal eats by its teeth. As humans have both canines for tearing flesh & molars for crushing vegetation, we're by nature omnivores.
BUT... we're not guided purely by instinct. Unlike a wolf or tiger, which MUST eat meat--people have the option of not eating meat and yet still being healthy.
I do eat meat, yet more & more I have a problem eating cows, sheep, & pigs. These are all pretty intelligent animals. Pigs are more intelligent than the dogs and cats we have as pets.
These 3 animals are advanced enough to have distinct personalities, to feel and give affection, and to feel pain & fear.
People who eat meat should at least once in their life have to slaughter a cow or pig... and butcher it, etc. To see how it's done, and to get a real perspective of it. I have far more respect for hunters who eat what they kill than people who only buy meat at the market and are totally detached from it all.
