Omnivores Are Not Bad Guys

My musings on not being vegan and still being pissed about the death of Cecil:
Yes, deplorable factory farming methods that exist in the US and throughout the world disgust me.
The more educated I become the more armed I am to make choices about where my food comes from.
I am becoming increasingly educated about how to reduce my consumption of meat in general.
I owe my increasing awareness on this particular topic to my fabulous vegan friends who share their information and meatless recipes with me.
I am growing and making choices all the time. 
More choices than I ever used to make. 
Every change I make, no matter how small, is a positive one for our planet and all the creatures living here with me.

But I still eat meat.

And that doesn't make me a bad person.

It makes me an omnivore.

It also doesn't make me a hypocrite, because I eat meat, to say that I am appalled that someone would kill a majestic animal solely for the purpose of having a trophy.
No one needs an animal head on their mantle.
And I can say that with a clear conscience regardless of what I am having for lunch.
