I had a similar experience... I watched a show on some pig slaughterhouse one night when I was
very low. It was disgusting... all these pink bodies crowded together in filth... piglets getting injected with all sorts of drugs... the conditions were enough to make me sick alone and that was before the actual slaughter. I'm not sure if it was the pot, but those pigs resembled naked humans so much it weirded me out. For me the decision to become a vegelesbian had nothing to do with animal rights (life feeds on life, I didn't write the rules), it was just that the unsanitary living conditions and hormones and drugs that animals have to endure made me disgusted at the thought of consuming them. After watching that I was vegetarian for almost six years, the last 3 of which I was vegan.
6 months in China took care of that though.

Just because the end result is death doesn't mean pain that could be avoided should be inflicted. Say your mother has a terminal illness but decides she'd like to donate a kidney - should an anaesthetic not be used because she'll be dead soon anyway?
