Keith,
Your make many points that give me reason for pause. However, I can
wait for someone else to do something about the problems that exist or I
can do something myself - done! The majority of U.S. citizens will
continue to eat meat and larger quantities than responsible and probably
of the cheapest factory farmed variety. I think that the animals not
being raised for my personal consumption will benefit everyone more than
were I to eat meat because of the benefit that it might hold for
fertilization. Hopefully, I can offset the over consuption and
thoughtless consumption of one other person. And we all know that we
can't change anyone else. I have always thought of this as my
contribution to the environment - hopefully just one of many.
A point of interest, though, I don't know of any animal aside from
humans that consume the milk of another animal, though, I'm sure there
probably is at least one. Can someone name one? However, the concept
of consuming the lactic fluids from a bovine seems rather bizarre.
Those which are intended for its offspring as all milk is. I'm pretty
sure that I can do without bovine hormones and antibodies.
Take care,
Ken
