I just wanted to let you know that I enrolled in a poli sci animal rights class this quarter at my school. Our professor put on a video mainly about the issues you raised as well as graphic videos and images of animal slaughtering/torturing. Not only have I been able to not eat meat and anything else containing milk, I haven't had an appetite since I've seen the video. What made me really sad was watching dogs and cats put into gas chambers and seeing their corpses afterwards =[

(Oh, after that class, on my way over to my next class, there was a booth on campus about anti-abortion showing really graphic images of dead fetuses. Then my next class had a guest speaker who worked as a film writer - his specialty being horror films and serial killers. I got to listen to 90 minutes of him describing the typical life/personality of a serial killer. I was nauseous the whole day. All this happened the day after I traveled 20 hours on a plane from Thailand to CA.)
