Reply #46: Personally I let people make their own choices.

but someone has to speak for the animals who often live in horrible conditions and are basically subject to torture.

the ad in question makes no judgments about people's choices, no guilt trips, no threats of damning you to hell if you eat meat. in fact I think it's kinda funny. I'm surprised people are offended to tell you the truth. Would you rather have them just show a video of the horrible conditions that cattle are subject to, treated like objects? Do you think animals should be tortured and treated like manufacturing objects? Would you prefer a 30 second commercial just showing a veal calf sitting in his hut, tied down and unable to move 24 hours a day, which is what they experience? In the whole scheme of things I think this ad is quite tame.
