Are any of you familiar with the movie "Charlotte's Web"? It is the story about a pig who was saved from being slaughtered at birth, but will eventually be slaughtered anyway for meat:
This movie was very emotional for me when I was a child. It still resonates with me. I simply couldn't comprehend how Westerners could view a movie like that and still choose to consume meat. At least those who didn't watch the film (and likewise were not aware that animals were killed for meat before watching it) could plead ignorance.
