Hmm.. You do need animals. I don't mind eating an animal just as I know every single part of it is put to use. Animal cruelty is what I can't stand. A guy killed a chicken right in front of me one time for no reason. Hit him in the gut forty-seven [counted] times with a metal baseball bat. x 3x
I love you.
I generally don't condone violence and I'm not one of those stereotypical vegans who are so cynical towards humans, but anyone who could just kill an innocent animal for no reason either has some kind of psychological problem [documented scientific fact, like how serial killers are likely to have killed or tortured animals as young adults] or, you know, just has no soul [subjective idea]. But I don't think that, in perspective, a couple dozen hits to the gut is unfair punishment for something that despicable. Go, you dastardly vigilante, you!
