His passion and compassion for humans is immense, but he appears to have some kind of mental block with nonhuman animals. In " Food for the Soul ," Kristof once again yearns for the farm of his childhood which, for him, had "soul." What that means is that it wasn't a factory-farm operation. Kristof frustrates me.

There's no "compassion" in the process. No factory farms, no large-scale operations where animals are crammed together under a roof, never to see the light of day. I wouldn't do it to a dog, and I shouldn't do it to a chicken/sheep/cow/pig. It's impersonal and hideously ugly and the animals suffer greatly.

The veracity of this statement hinges on Scott's definition of "inhumane," and that definition must be very, very restricted, and clearly unrelated to the realities of our modern factory farm system. All we do as vegans is take a reality--the reality of the sentience of cats, dogs, horses, chickens, sheep, cows, etc.
