In my honest opinion, as someone who has done the vegan thing in the past, and since have rejected it, I do see the concerns for animals, however, there’s also the fact that a plant based diet is much more difficult to really get what you need nutritionally without supplementing like crazy or never stop eating. I know the arguments for and against, and I’m not here to argue. As someone who is much happier and healthier as a meat eater, I can say from experience that no, plant based diets are not what they are really cracked up to be. As yes as mentioned earlier buy from the little guy! We drive 20mins to go to a local, no antibiotic, no hormone, etc deli where we buy all our meat. 

That, and places like PETA are Jew run and use animal worship to lead people from Christ and towards the antiChrist. 

Your obsession with what you eat seems to me to be disordered and unCatholic.

I do not see the Hand of God in those who grow, harvest, or prepare our food(particularly animal product).  Therefore, I mean to bite.  

Nowhere in the Old or New Testament does God give us the right to eat unclean animals.

Matt 15, 10-18   Jesus says:

10 And having called together the multitudes unto him, he said to them: Hear ye and understand.
11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man: but what cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
12 Then came his disciples, and said to him: Dost thou know that the Pharisees, when they heard this word, were scandalized?
13 But he answering them, said: Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
14 Let them alone: they are blind, and leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into the pit.
15 And Peter answering, said to him: Expound to us this parable.
16 But he said: Are you also yet without understanding?
17 Do you not understand, that whatsoever entereth into the mouth, goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the privy?
18 But the things which proceed out of the mouth, come forth from the heart, and those things defile a man.

Can't "stomach" truth, eh? Not part of your diet?

Your main error is trying to follow Jєωιѕн dietary laws at all since this is the heresy of judaizing.  But you aren't even able to read Scripture well enough to do that correctly.  Chickens and turkeys were clean according to Scripture and are so considered by Jews to this day. Birds in general are clean and Scripture lists the specific exceptions to this. It is right there in Deuteronomy 14.  

[11] All birds that are clean you shall eat. [12] The unclean eat not: to wit, the eagle, and the grype, and the osprey, [13] The ringtail, and the vulture, and the kite according to their kind: [14] And all of the raven's kind: [15] And the ostrich, and the owl, and the larus, and the hawk according to its kind:

Note verse 11: All birds that are clean you shall eat.

Of course, it is very clear in the New Testament and subsequent Church teaching that this does not apply to us and all foods are clean for Christians.

The main error in all of this is that vegans dont stay vegan long.
Why?  B12.  The only easily absorbable form comes from red meat.  
So, either vegans fall off the bandwagon sometimes, or they die.
As for clean vs. Unclean animals, that is discussed on another thread.

One of my favorite saints is St. Hubert.

He is known as the patron saint of hunters. He spent all of his time hunting and killing animals in the forest, and was in fact addicted to killing animals, but one day he had a vision in which a cross appeared between the antlers of a stag.

Wiki further explains...."During Hubert's vision, the Hirsch (German: deer) is said to have lectured Hubertus into holding animals in higher regard and having compassion for them as God's creatures with a value in their own right. For example, the hunter ought only to shoot when humane, when a clean and quick kill is assured. He ought only to shoot old stags past their prime breeding years, and to relinquish a much anticipated shot on a trophy to instead euthanize a sick or injured animal that might appear on the scene. Further one ought never to shoot a female with young in tow to assure the young deer have a mother to guide them to food during the winter. Such is the legacy of Hubert, who still today is held in high regard in the extensive German and Austrian hunter's education courses."

I first found out about St. Hubert when finding an old Catholic cemetery set in a wheat field in eastern Washington state, which had been originally part of a Catholic Church called St. Hubert. The church was torn down a few years ago (the land is still owned by the Yakima Diocese I think). But there was at one time a lot of German Catholics in the area.

No, I found your comment ignorant, therefore making you look bad.  What I quoted regarded the bible against bestiality.  And, bestiality is relevant(of utmost relevance) to this thread and discussion because a major gripe against conventional industrial animal farming is the artificial insemination which is inseparable from bestiality.  That is why I posted a link to the bible against bestiality.  Inform yourself before you comment, especially if you tend to insults.  That is why I posted the video I did on cathinfo that matthew censored, which lead to this thread.
