Well, everybody's free to eat whatever they want to, of course. Personally, I don't eat most meat available on the market. It's just my own personal preference, because of the conditions that those animals are raised and kept in and the way they are killed. To me, it's nasty. I guess it's "standard of demise" (I like the way you phrased that, lol) and the standards of living of the animals before their demise. I would much rather eat something that has lived a nice, happy, free life and then been killed cleanly, and that I know exactly how it's been killed and prepared for consumption. I am really particular about meat, for health issues and for ethical issues, and I would much rather eat hunted meat than standard meat from the store.

Regarding giving the animals guns to make it fair, what weapons would you give the animals that are on meat farms?

I know I'm kind of weird about this, I'm just really picky about my food ...
