Hundreds march in protest against slaughterhouses

People should have to see where their meat comes from before they eat it. I think if someone saw how the cow was killed they might not want that hamburger after all.

I think there is a strong movement in the Toronto area. There is strong opposition to the cruelty of the meat industry.

There are also vegan restaurants and many ordinary restaurants have vegan/vegetarian options. There are vegan "butchers" who sell alternatives to meat. There must be enough people who want this or the businesses would not survive.

I think there is a growing awareness of the animal cruelty involved in eating meat and the serious environmental impact of raising so many animals for meat.
