I stopped eating meat 5 years ago and dairy just recently BECAUSE of the inhumane way the animals are treated. I am grateful these disgusting corporate farming realities are being uncovered.

Cutting out all meat, eggs and dairy was the best decision of my life. You adapt, believe me, I was raised in a dairy community on a meat and potato diet. Now the thought of eating animal flesh or secretions makes me feel so sick. I can't believe how easy and cheap eating vegan can actually be too. Unless you can witness the experience an animal goes through from birth to slaughter (if it makes it that long) you cannot ever be sure they dont suffer in more ways than cruel farm-hands and farmers not doing their job. Is a few minutes of taste really worth their life and suffering? Please consider veganism, do some soul searching and figure out what you really value and live out your values, stay true to what you know is right.

Animal abuse is a strong indication of a society whose values are based on greed, selfishness and lack of compassion for the well-being of others. Nonhuman animals have the same desire to be free from suffering, to be in their communities and environments, and to live-just like us. Our family stopped eating animals the moment we woke up and realized the horrors billions of sentient beings endure until their terrifying deaths.

I picked yes only because there is not a third option. The third option should be,
I stopped eating meat due to horrifying animal abuse, and now I will never go back. Thankyou

I stopped eating meat, poultry, and fish many years ago as a rebellion against their treatment. The animals lead a life of continuous suffering, treated like machines without any form of respect for who they are, for their well-being, their emotions or their physical conditions. What ppl in the industry are doing to those poor creatures is criminal and barbaric. It is a very sad and distressing mirror of our society. My blood check up showed a maximum level in proteins, the doc thought i was a big meat eater, lol. Just to prove that they are enough substitutes out there to get our fill of proteins. We eat only organic food, we are in our sixties and healthy, never visit doctors.
We absolutely have alternatives to eating meat. See the position of the American Dietetic Association and Dietitians of Canada on vegetarian and vegan diets. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12778049. Staples of vegan diets like legumes and other plant-based foods are very inexpensive. There are many products out there that are marketed as 'humane' but under-cover investigations have shown that there are only marginal differences between "humane" and "regular" meat. Stop consuming animals secretions and their bodies if you really want to see change for animals. Plus, as the UN's FAO has documented, animal agriculture is a significant contributor to global warming. Watch earthlings.com.

Vegetables are constantly abused too! How can we ensure potatoes and lettuce experience no pain when harvested?

It makes me even more determined not to eat factory meat. Luckily I live rurally where we can get good local meat. Probably city people should eat very little meat, and it should be really expensive because it is raised well and on a small scale.

Very misleading poll; animal abuse cases do make me recinsider eating meat, but not because "an animal is dying". It will die whether I eat it or not, as will I. That fact does not justify making an animal or I suffer. The attitude that "it will die anyway" is the reason why animal abuse cases make me reconsider eating meat. Even the person asking this poll seems to assume ignoring animal abuse will somehow create "more humane farming methods". It does not.
