I am an omnivore, I believe I should take responsibility to kill and prepare my own meat as 'kindly' as possible...

But that's not the world we live in any more...

We have to trust corporate meat processors;
and as a mass of consumers lobby that they be forced by law to follow best practices...

I would be happy to see humanity mature out of a dependency on any religions,
but accept the unlikelihood of that ever happening in my lifetime.

Respect and tolerance for religious practices in animal slaughter,
should not be at the cost of animal suffering and poor quality meat products.

How this should be enforeced is the pronlematic nature of this discussion.....????
