I disagree with Jackie and the standard PETA line for many reasons, specifically because the fact that you're getting your meat locally and responsibly raised means that your meat is not contributing to the greenhoues gas statistic so often quoted for industrial meat in this country. When will this argument stop being rehashed? Nevertheless, I disagree with many vegetarians because I feel they try and make me become one of them. Let's just let people make their own socially conscious decisions and not proselytize. Good for you for thinking so hard about where your meat comes from and may we wish that all people think hard for THEMSELVES about what they put in their bodies.

I've toyed with the idea of bringing a shochet out to rural Texas, but the prospect is too much for little me. Glad you like your steak.

To keep you company and make you feel better? I'm sorry you can't picture the death of those cows you eat, not pretty and lots of agony. Your existence is not worth agony for any being. You could also read up on the effects on the environment that the meat and dairy industry is having including that it creates 18% of the greenhouse gases in the world, more than transportation according to a UN report along with the other giant problems of runoff. So too bad the door to opening wide your heart and empathy was opened for you and you chose to slam it shut. The rest of us will not be following you.
