That's why I don't eat chicken either. :)

I was a vegetarian for about 15 years, but it is difficult to maintain. I still don't really care for meat, and don't have meat in the house, but I will eat it when I am out and at people's homes. I still cook vegetarian. It is a hard habit to break.

PETA is too radical to make a viable difference. There's a happy medium somewhere.

buddhists who eat meat has a nice tradition.. Before you kill or cook meat, you give a little prayer/thanks to the animal you're to eat.

I do it.. But it's hard to give thanks to a slab of meat wrapped up in plastic.
I'm not going to deny it.. I enjoy meat & fish :)

I do the same. And also for the animals that I feed to my fish and my lizards. Native Americans also did this. It's all in the treatment. :)
