In the human sense...Imagine going out in the morning for food.
While walking into the grocery store, someone shoots you, takes
you home, guts you and butchers you and put in their freezer.

In the fishing sense, Imagine biting into a hamburger and a hook
gets lodged in your mouth or throat and you get yanked away for
food.

This is exactly what we do to animals. And the farmed ones are
raised for food too. No matter how they are raised, they will
still die once they get to optimum age or size.

I do still eat meat but it's getting less each year. Even though
I let other people do the killing and butchering, I still don't
like the whole concept. If someone can come up with a tasty meat
alternative, I'll go for it.

Remember the old, Twilight Zone (I think) episode? It was called
"To Serve Man." Aliens came to earth to serve man. Humans thought
was to help us. Turned out in the end that they were harvesting
humans and the book, "To Serve Man," was actually a cookbook.

We were horrified with that concept. Our animals live with that
every day.
