brujitamae: It’s totally fine for someone to love animals and still eat meat. 100% okay. perfect. no problem. just because someone eats meat doesn’t mean that they fucking hate animals. Sorry, But you cannot “love” animals and eat them to. If you loved them you would not support and fund the cruelty being inflicted upon them. Simple.

Cut the elitist bull shit. People can love animals and eat them too.

For example:

I’m an animal lover. I’ve spent my entire life rescuing animals and helping them get adopted (my family owns a domestic animal shelter). I’ve rescued dogs who were covered in acid and left by the highway. I’ve rescued cats who were living in pens that contained more shit than your elitist sentence. The horror stories I have from working the rescue line would give you nightmares.

HOWEVER: I also eat meat. I have a couple of separate medical conditions that prevent me from going vegetarian or vegan. I tried for about a month and a half and I nearly ended up in the doctor’s office due to lethargy/nausea/headaches/cramps/etc. I have to eat meat, or I will pass out and deal with various other symptoms, both listed and unlisted.

I’m not the only one. People at my family’s shelter will go together to this little local bar-be-que place (which does a beautiful brisket sandwich, by the way).

I understand that many large companies do mistreat their animals. But that doesn’t mean that all of them do, and that certainly doesn’t mean that smaller, mom-and-pop stores do. So excuse me for buying and enjoying my delicious, cruelty-free steak in order to keep for getting sick and passing out. There are people in this world who can have their animals and eat them too. Apparently, you aren’t one of them.
