The slaughterhouse is probably the biggest reason. I don't know if I would like to see anything treated in that way, certainly not any living thing. It's too destructive and disgusting and doesn't fit right with how I view the world or would like too. But then to kill at all... It's sort of a strange position we're put in where saying we're meant to eat meat is just as absurd as saying we're not meant to. There's also the issue of corruption in the whole industry, but that really extends to the food industry in general...though some things like the hormones, antibiotics, and mad cow are particularly horrific. I guess I stopped trying to convert people a while ago...I always liked change I could make in just a choice rather than having to become part of a movement. I'm not sure how much you can really do besides making people aware of basic slaughterhouse conditions or getting them to think about things anyway... It's almost more of a philosophical question, so it's difficult to argue.
