One thing we all need to see is this. As with all the otehr creatures on this planet, we too have the right to food and habitat. Just as an owl builds a nest in a tree, we too have the right to access nature and materials to habitat. We have the right to access food. That being said...We can see the hurt, fear, pain animals go through in facotry farming and dairy production. Milk is stolen from cows for our consumption. Other mammals don't steal milk from other mammals...and the quit drinking it when they are ready. Can one say that we are designed to hunt like other mammals do? Possibly...But to factory farm, and imprison animals and inflict pain and suffering is not in balance with nature. Frankly, I don't know what scientific evidence is out their that supports the human race being omnivores or herbavores....from our physical design, one would gather that we are more herbavore, with some omnivoric characteristics. I have choosen to lean to veganism (which I am still working on) because I know without a doubt that farming animals is wrong, stealing their young is wrong, and stealing their milk is wrong...but we do have right to the earth's bounty as other animals have the same right. Sorry for the epic response!
