- From the page: "Q: Humans have always eaten animals. Why should we change?
A: For centuries, humans enslaved other humans. And as we now know, tradition does not always make something right. As humankind progresses, it seems only natural that we extend our circle of compassion to include animals who are as capable of feeling pain and fear as we are. "

A nice little page that offers clear answers to questions every vegetarian/vegan gets asked including the one that makes everyone of us silently clench our fists "but what about cruelty to plants?"

- Vegetarian F.A.Q
Q: What is a Vegetarian?
A: The definition of vegetarianism differs from person to person. Most people who call themselves vegetarians do not consume the flesh of any animal, but may eat eggs and dairy products. These people are called lacto-ovo vegetarians. Strict vegetarians, or vegans, are people who do not consume animal products of any kind, including dairy, eggs, honey, gelatin, or other animal-derived products. Many of these vegetarians also refrain from wearing leather, fur, wool, or other products made from animals.
Q: We don't kill animals for dairy and eggs, do we?
A: Actually, billions of chickens and cows die every year as a direct result of the egg and milk industries. Typically forced to endure inhumane treatment throughout their entire lives, spent laying hens and dairy cows are sent to slaughter when production declines. Male chicks, useless to the egg business, are killed at the hatchery. Unable to produce milk, male dairy calves are sold and raised for veal or beef.
Q: What about free-range meat and eggs?
A: At this time, there are no uniform standards or regulations dictating what constitutes as free range. Often, so-called free-range producers utilize industrialized farming methods and confine and crowd animals in unhealthy, indoor environments. Like all other food animals, animals raised on free-range farms often become victims of horrific cruelty during transport and slaughter.
