One thing that keeps me from eating very much meat is the way animals are treated on factory farms. I have read what goes on in those places, and I don't want my actions in any way to perpetuate that system.
I know everyone feels differently about this, but I do not think that animals' feelings should be discounted simply because they are animals. I have decided that "do unto others" does not apply just to other humans.
Each person must listen with open honesty to conscience, and to act with integrity once the voice of conscience has been heard. If your conscience is not making any warnings, consider reading more about factory-farm conditions for animals.
