Vegetarians, and particularly vegans go on and on about not harming animals, not using animals, etc ... yet how do they justify farming and food production methods that result in the deaths of lotsa little critters, like slower and more stupid fieldmice (Rats of NIMH, anyone?), squirrels, etc. that get gnashed and run over by the combine at harvest time?
You're right, some animals are injured or killed through farming. There's absolutely no way around that. But there is a way around brutally slaughtering millions of animals everday--by choosing not to eat them. If a boat is sinking, and you know you can't save everybody, should you give up and let everyone die? NO, you do as much as you can to help.

Let the vegetarian insults begin!
