I've made no points?! I'll re-iterate the points I've made so far:

1.

    What are the chances that in the end, "the free range grass fed" animal would have preferred to still be free range and feeding on grass?

2.

    Although the caring treatment of an animal while alive is obviously a step in the right direction, being slaughtered after an ideal life (or in the case of lamb/veal, before having a chance of having a life at all) is still a violation of that animal's right to life. This is specially true in a day an age when we know that we can live healthily without animal products.
In short what are your/anyone's reasons for eating meat?

3. The cute pictures themselves. Why would anyone want to put an end to another creature's life when there's no survival reason to do so?
