Send to a Friend

Linguistically, and more importantly, morally, should someone who eats meat no longer call themselves "animal lover" (if they did so to begin with)?
It’s a bit hard, isn’t it, if I call myself an animal lover (pets (cat, dog, rabbit), fishes, big five, big ‘pet-factor’ guys, such as panda’s), yet eat steaks and chicken wings.
They usually, predominantly, are slaughtered in a not so friendly manner, not to speak about their quality of live in general.
How do you view that?
Do you have a strong opinion on that?
