Know thine enemy

I took this shot of a butcher in Bradford's market today.

I've been a vegetarian for over 20yrs & it's for a whole host of reasons but I think compassion is the overriding one.

There are lots of things we do for pleasure that we would never do if it resulted in the pain & suffering of animals.

I've yet to hear a good argument for eating meat but I've never heard one!
