       Then I can call myself semi-vegetarian since I don't eat elephant or zebra.   
   I also don't eat veal or lamb or goose. Not for ethical reasons though, except   
   maybe for veal. I have no doubt that some veal calves have lives of positive   
   value. Maybe most of them do. I hope so. You can't comprehend what that would   
   mean so you say, but I can and do and hopefully Mr. N.A. Cho can as well. Even   
   though you can't get it as I said the concept is easy enough that we discussed   
   it in regards to slavery in the US when I was in grade school, and none of the   
   kids were unable to comprehend as you claim to be. I remember thinking about it   
   in regards to the dairy cattle I was around every day at the farm down the road   
   while I was in fifth or sixth grade, while in huge contrast you'll probably   
   never be able to do it at any point during your entire life. Something little   
   grade school children do all the time and then FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES, but   
   you'll never be able to do it at any point during yours. So you say.
