Becoming a Vegetarian

Meat is murder. How can you continue to eat chicken when you know that their brutally beaten and kept in cages for their entire, miserable life? Did you know that almost all the chickens that are bred for butchering never have a chance to ever spread their wings?

Imagine being born in a smelly, loud factory where you are immediately put in a cage and kept until your old enough and big enough to be slaughtered, so that some ungrateful person can eat you?
