Oh. I am definately against any kind of cruel treatment of animals. I rarely eat meat unless it is served in a social setting and even then I have some limits. I simply don't see it as a sin or cruel or 'wrong' for other people. Death is not IMO cruelty it is a natural and positive outcome of a life lived well. However, murder, torture, and cruel inhumane practices employed in that process is absolutely a sin in my book. I find eating meat to be risky business... especially concerning commercially produced, and distributed meat...FDA be Damned.

When animals are slaughtered in the scriptural way they should not suffer in the process. I have watched lambs being killed this way and they lay down willingly and peacably in the death process. When they are killed in a different way, or the man with the knife makes even a minor mistake, they fight it and struggle through the process.

I have also seen movies of nature scenes where a wolf kills the calf of a caraboo. The mother fought the wolf to protect the young one until the wolves overcame the calf. Then, the mother stood peacefully eating grass a few feet away while the wolves consumed the calf. All instinctual and lacking in the bambi type personifications of the event.
