Have fought with my conscience over eating meat for a good while, I was vegetarian for 17 years and could go back to that with no problems now. I don't think religion should be brought into it, I think it's more a case of if it came down to you actually killing the animal , could you do it? Could you throttle a chicken or shoot a lamb? I think that if you couldn't physically end that animals life then you have no right to be eating it. I am in a bit of a state of turmoil over this and have been for a few months, I do like meat but I am struggling justifying it.
