On Assignment: Is that bacon I smell, or the neighbor’s pet

    Funny, I never thought that enjoying, appreciating, and thinking animals were cute precluded me from enjoying dinner. Fact is, I think I appreciate my bacon more because I have known a few pigs and understand both their intelligence, humor, and their relentless appetite which included a pet lamb, decorative ducks, and the compost heap. And oh, piglets are so very cute.

    It's not just people in the East who care about animals, Bob. I'm 32 and have lived in the Midwest my entire life. A few years ago I went vegetarian and then vegan. Compassion isn't about where you live. It's about what you know and what you choose to do with that knowledge.

    If you care about animals, please consider not eating them. Visit ChooseVeg.com for more information.
