"Third Ethical treatment of animals.  It is inhumane the way animals are treated in food producing farms, made to live in too small of areas for their health.  Now there are many farms that are improving their treatment of animals, but it is still inhumane." Unfortunately for the three students, Rachel was getting on a roll and there wasn't Rachel's usual people there to put the brakes on her speech. "And of course there is the problem of slaughtering hundreds of animals a day to supply meat to everyone on a daily basis."<br/><br/>Rachel was reaching her small purse to pull out her phone, "I have a video showing the various ways animals are killed and ways that that they go wrong and the poor animals suffer," Rachel was offering when suddenly she heard a voice she hadn't heard for over a year.  She spun around and smiled sheepishly at Quinn as she gave her a small wave, completely forgetting about defending veganism.  "Surprise and maybe the aclu can't help yet, but I wanted to come and see how you are doing and remind you that you have support."  Rachel sits down at the same time as Quinn does, hoping that she hasn't overstepped their friendship, plainly seeing the surprise on Quinn's beautiful face.  "hi," the tiny brunette responded back to Quinn's second 'hi', hoping her tanned skin was hiding her slight flush at being in Quinn's presence again.  She started to unbutton her brilliant orange coat, it was getting warm as she swallowed her saliva as she took in Quinn in her cheerleader uniform.
