I never saw exclusivly any animal killing or slaughtering in factory farms , but I was aware something is just not right about it. Everything is kept so much hidden from people that they dont actually see or realise it. And then I watched one video where a piglet was left consciously bleeding to death, was painfully crying a LOT just that sound touched my heart and I wished I could go and stop it, I felt really horrible.
And too many diseases. Mad cow disease is just another horror in meat industry, when I read about it I was very disgusted to hear that they even feed garbage of blood,carcass waste from slaughter industry, to herbivorous cattles eventually bringing diseases like MAD COW disease, you can check that out. . The government has tightened cattle-feed rules, but loopholes still permit cattle blood as a milk substitute and chicken waste as a protein supplement. If you live in U.S. or Canada you probably know that it remains common to include the blood, bone, and unwanted flesh of all types of farmed animals in the feed of chickens, turkeys, and pigs,etc which is illegal in Europe and Japan
Oh come on guys, he's messing with you. It's called dead-pan.
Anyway, meat is good for you. If you don't have any meat, how will you get your protein? It's important to have a balanced diet. Like steak and potatoes. or chicken and spuds.
Spinach and aloo is always good tho; uber vegetarian meal AND it tastes awesome.
This being said, I do understand some of the emotion from OP in regards to animal treatment. Which is exactly why in Islam we are to treat them extremely well and not violate their rights.
I agree, i will be the last one to give up meat, I will not make haram for me that what Allah has made halal. But I dislike the idea of killing animals for sport, fox hunting etc....

seconded .. i also think its cruel , include bull fightling to cruel list too
I agree about bull fighting and badger baiting because those animals are forced to fight. In dog fighting, however, the dogs can quit whenever they want, so it's no less acceptable than a boxing match.
Did you know that you have to eat lots of variety of vegetables in order to have a well balance nutrients...if ones are a vegetarian.
And for the poor... is not that easy to be able to get all different kinds of veges. Unless they eat a bit of grasshoper, fishes or anything that is not veges.
Thats why in Islam, it is important to do qurbani (to give a way meat to the poor) once a year. To make sure that the poor has the balance nutrients.
25:36 And the true servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk the earth with humility and when the ignorant address them, they respond with words of peace.
Vegetarian soul is probably a Hindu brahmin and Cow is a sacred animals to the Hindus which is the probably the main reason why he sounds so upset , though these days i have heard more and more brahmins have started to eat meat these days and he makes it sound as if muslims are the only non-vegetarians on this earth even though eating Non-veg is permitted for Hindus
I justtttttt read an article directed towards vegans and it had to do with eating some veggie. Basically it was saying that it could feel the pain too! And for vegans it would require a little more sacrifice and we all know that yes u dont get the full balanced nutrients....what say you?
All this talk about "feeling for the animals" is so overblown man. It seems to me people have more concern for animal life than human life. They both are important but human life seems to be getting cheaper each day...

*Without Allah, without Islam, life would be meaningless. If I've ever learned patience, it's because of this. Alhamdulillah...*
I eat meat but I think all life is equal under Allah. It is a situation of power and luck that I am not the meal of a carnivorous beast or cannibal. At the end of the day it is all about survival and we must live off death so we can have life. All we can do (humanely) is kill causing as little suffering as possible.
You can see very well how Zakir Naik destroys his arguments of RashmiBhai Zaveri and exposed his deceptive methods and that happens because Allah(s.w.t) says in the Quran
21:18 “When truth is hurled against falsehood, falsehood perishes, for falsehood by its nature is bound to perish"
When truth is hurled at falsehood , falsehood perishes. because falsehood by its nature is bound to perish [21:18- Holy quran]
