It's no different if a carrot could scream as it's being ripped out of the ground believe me it would. Plus by eating all the vegetables they're taking more food away from the animals they love so much. Then you have the hardcore vegetarians who eat "raw food" aka uncooked vegetables. Stupidest think I've ever heard it's dying whether you cook it or not since ya plucked it from it's growing source. I can see how they'd feel sorry for the animals in the slaughter houses (cause it is really aweful) but to think just eating vegetables is any better is just ignorant.

Vegetarians - Roger McGough
Vegetarians are cruel, unthinking people.
Everybody knows that a carrot screams when grated.
That a peach bleeds when torn apart.
Do you believe an orange insensitive
to thumbs gouging out its flesh?
That tomatoes spill their brains painlessly?
Potatoes, skinned alive and boiled,
the soil's little lobsters.
Don't tell me it doesn't hurt
when peas are ripped from their overcoats,
the hide flayed off sprouts,
cabbage shredded, onions beheaded.
Throw in the trowel
and lay down the hoe.
Mow no more
Let my people go!
