Most vegetarians don't really mind when other people eat meat. They realize that humans have free will and should be allowed to make their own dining choices. They may try to convince you otherwise, but for the most part they are rational, level-headed people. Then there's Carrie Packwood Freeman:

Let's trade places with theses animals and imagine if your mother were:

o Enslaved as a breeder in a tiny crate her whole life.

o Constantly impregnated as many times as physically possible but never allowed to raise or be with any of her children because her babies were considered "property" of others who are profiting off their bodies.

o Selectively bred with hormones to have profitable, gorging mammary glands, pumped by machine, not for her baby, but so adults of another species could needlessly drink her milk...

o Crowded in indoor cages with other women her whole life to have her menstrual products (eggs) harvested for consumption.

o Killed before middle-age because she was deemed "spent" when her reproduction rate slowed down and was less profitable.

Certainly, these egregious injustices against women would be considered a shocking act of sexist oppression that would be condemned and outlawed by all compassionate citizens. So in a civilized feminist society, why do we allow it to happen to any females? Luckily, this needless exploitation can be stopped - by you. Simply withdraw your financial support from animal agribusiness and put it into more humane proteins like nuts, soymilks, tofu, beans, peas and whole grains. This Mother's Day, make a pledge to help all mothers by ending their suffering. Feel good about choosing vegetable protein instead of buying someone else's stolen milk, eggs or flesh.

Imagine if your mom were an antelope, prancing around the Serengeti, when all of a sudden BAM! KAPOW! ZOINK!, she's jumped by lions and torn limb from limb. And then hyenas come out and chase the lions away just long enough to grab her carcass and run. I don't know what that has to do with anything, I just thought it was imagination hour.

I think what bothers me most is that Freeman thinks that eating meat is "Sexist Oppression". Something tells me that the oppressed women of the world would disagree.
