What do you think of this?
A former senator donated his farm to the public many years ago. The farm is fully functional and run by volunteers and operates heavily on donations and the sale of eggs, honey, livestock and donations when a puppy or kitten is adopted.
Children from all over see the baby chicks, piglets, calves and goats in the spring every year. Guess where they are sen to in the fall? The slaughterhouse.
What would you do to save these animals? Take them home? Care for them. Buy them for thousands of dollars from the farm?

It's hilarious when the vegetarians have an answer for a simple question, they really get into it. When they don't, they get nasty and very defensive. You never hear them say - "Hmmm, maybe you have a point." I guess they know everything.
Get a life.
Hey how about forgetting freaking chickens for a sec and focusing all your uneducated and misguided energy towards something beneficial for our society like saving the poor in Africa or the orphans in China or even the Christians being slaughtered in Darfur and other Arab lands. Maybe focus on the thousands of homeless in your city and taking one of those chikens on the "peace farm" cut it's head off, pluck the feathers, stick the bastard on a grill and feed one homeless guy.
They need to make money and we need to eat.Besides if we didn't do these things we would be overrun. Also that is what a working farm is for. Should the farmers also plant their crops and not use them to feed the hungry. Two way street. I have cut down on my meat intake by choice and gone more into vegetables however I still eat meat. I can not see cutting off the nose to spite the face. Everyone has their own beliefs and I respect yours and you should respect others. I know some places are human on how they put the animals down and that is where your efforts should be put.
Nothing much.
As another poster said before, "Get a Life".
I wouldn't, I'd ask if I could watch so I could see the entire process of how my meat gets to my table. Since the only things I've seen from beginning to end is deer cutting and preparing a wild turkey, they're the only meats I feel really connected with. So I'd like to learn how to gut a pig or cow so I can raise my own 'organic' meat products and feel like a real human being!
will if you feel you should save the animals why don't you get a farm hear how life work a farmer raise a chicken he get the egg's from the chicken and when the chicken stop laying egg's it goes to a slaughterhouse so we can have a nice chicken diner on Sunday now what your wanting the farmer to do is keep and feed a worthless chicken will if it work like that the farmer would live in the poor house what do you think the zoo dose with old chicken??
well, if they donate the meat to the soup kitchen, then it's all good
I can't speak for all vegetarians/vegans but I think you are missing the underlying idea. Using / abusing animals for food is not necessary. It has been proven time after time that we could feed more people a healthier diet if we used our resources better. Animal farming is highly inefficient and ineffective. Most people are addicted to meat just like people who are addicted to drugs, cigarettes, or sugar. They are bombarded with advertising and "nutrition information" like the Atkins diet that insists they must eat meat to be healthy. Our society perpetuates slaughterhouse farming out of its own ignorance.
When I became a vegetarian (1985) most of my friends and family thought it was "very unhealthy". Today I am 6', 210 lbs. I am rarely sick, I have great endurance and can press almost 200 lbs. Most people consider me one of the healthiest people they know and I have been a vegetarian for over 20 years.
But as far as I am concerned - eat what you want.
