Karen I appreciate your stand on vegetarianism....but...at some time you are going to have to reconcile your anti-meat beliefs with your life stile. You cannot continue to cook meat for your family and feed it to your pets (Companion animals??) and believe in you r heart that eating meat is wrong. Sorry, I do not apologize in the least for what I said. Most vegans do not have carnivore pets for this reason.
