Hi MeAndroo,
I`ll address your comments now. I have to take a break from TP since she makes it really hard for me to know what she is referring to with quoting me and not commenting in the appropriate breaks.
By the way, thanks for breaking my quotes so that I know quickly and exactly what you are referring to.
Honest answer. Accepted.
I think I was the same way about not knowing if animals suffered. After I began reading up on it I did learn about it.
Yes, I understand. Some people have the need to see it. But, if you can`t satisfy that need by gettng access to a factory farm or slaughterhouse, literature or videos on it is the next best source.
There are some good AR/AW books out there to read. Don`t know if you are interested, but if so, then let me know I could recommend one or two.
Good for quiting veal. Did you make that decision after seeing veal raised yourself, or was it after literature or media reports?
I understand about the "rhetoric" you are referring to. The sides are deeply entrenched as it pertains to AR and animal industries. I would recommend more AW leaning literature in that case. Sure, they, too, are a little biased but not so much as against animal industries as ARists are. I doubt if you will ever find a truly unbiased well informed source on the issue. People are pulled to the issue because for the most part they have chosen sides and those are the people who are commenting on the issue and industries -- not someone or org who doesn`t care about it or not have some vested interest in it.

For something like animal welfare/rights, I'd probably have to see it.

After seeing veal farms, I stopped eating veal. I'm not saying just because I don't see something doesn't mean it doesn't happen, but it would certainly make more of a mark on me than biased rhetoric from either side.
