Why just because i believe animals have the same right to live, as we do.
Thats actually a good quality which points towards that i am a caring and loving person. I feel sorry for your kids, and the kind of morals you will teach them.
I have no objection to eating animals, its natural. Its just the manner in which they do kill them which I object too. Like if they did it in a painless way that would be alright, but to have animals boiled alive is just plain nasty and uncalled for.
