Are we pinning people down and force-feeding them vegan burritos? The HSUS isn't even anti-hunting ! I prefer "anti-unnecessary slaughter of sentient nonhumans" and it has nothing to do with perceived modernity. Of course, Lobo is missing the point entirely.

And it certainly doesn't follow that it is permissible to eat meat that comes from animals who were forced to endure horribly inhumane factory farm conditions and who were then slaughtered inhumanely.
