I can understand everyone's point of view on this subject, even 7th level vegans (don't eat anything that casts a shadow), but I LOVE meat. It is delicious and good for you. That said, I have a real problem with 'meat factories' where they line cows up in cramped stalls with automated shit-scrapers to clean the floor and an endless cycle of feeding and milking, then off to the slaughterhouse for a slug in the brain-stem. I have a moral problem with the chicken warehouses. I do not, however, have a problem with a cow that has been fed and cared for all his life, then goes off to the barn for a slug in the brain-stem. And yes, I have killed and dressed my own meat before.
