Where do you get the stat that 99.9% of all cows suffer terribly in their life. Theres not even a way to know that. Reputable farms use painless slaughter methods.

Most cows lead miserable lives. One of my best friends runs a 100,000 acre ranch with 1,000+ free range cows. They graze and lead wonderful lives... until it's time to gather them and sell them to the meat packing company. They are put into trucks and sent to a horrific place to get fat for the next 3-4 weeks, where they are inhumanely killed. And most cows don't live on 100,000 acre ranches. It simply is not profitable.
BTW, my comments are not meant to "preach," although they may come across that way. I just hope at least one person will think about that burger they put into their mouth today. Or one person will chose the bean and cheese burrito at Taco Bell instead of the Burrito Supreme. Oh, and I haven't even discussed the environmental impact of eating meat. It's the worst thing humans do to the environment.
I'll let The Smiths do the preaching: 🙂
