Everytime you buy a steak, a certain percentage of your cost actually goes to pay the person who killed the cow, and the business that aims to profit off killing and selling the meat from the cow, that may not be killing to you, but it is to me, so I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree......
So when I worked in KFC, and there was spare chicken at the end of the shift that would go in the bin, I was wrong to take it home to my family to eat (and so save on money in general)
Was meat eating wrong then?
