Default What do you think about this "FEED AN ANIMAL IN NEED"?

I point out to them that:

· From the life and death of a thousand pound grass raised
steer and whatever he happens to kill during his life, people
get over 500 pounds of human consumable meat...that's well
over 500 servings of meat. From a grass raised dairy cow people
get thousands of dairy servings. Due to the influence of farm
machinery, and *icides, and in the case of rice the flooding and
draining of fields, one serving of soy or rice based product is
likely to involve more animal deaths than hundreds of servings
derived from grass raised animals. Grass raised animal products
contribute to fewer wildlife deaths, better wildlife habitat, and
better lives for livestock than soy or rice products. ·

but they not only don't care about such things, they usually
if not always deny the truth of it. They care MUCH more about
promoting veg*nism than they could ever care about human
influence on animals, that much they have shown....ever one
of them that I've encountered.
