getting on the vegan soapbox


did you see this story about the teen in miami who went on a cat killing spree? supposedly (innocent until proven guilty, right?), this teen went around and mutilated a bunch of cats in the miami area. a sick, gut-wrenching tragedy that suggests that this teen has some serious disturbing behaviors.

however, what i don't understand, truthfully, is the fact that each day 27 million animals are slaughtered so that people around the world can eat them. that's 19,000 a minute. why don't we A) see this headline in the papers and B) bury our heads in atrocity at the grim reality that millions of animals die, unnecessarily, each day?

i could go on. and on. and on. but i won't. at least, not tonight...
