From the next curve in the road, I can see the cows grazing deep in the valley: “If I was a tiger, I would check my prey from here.” Nitin was talking to rangers and explains: “A few days ago, one of the 70 or so tigers in the reserve has indeed taken a cow. Raising and lowering its head, like stretching.

It is true that the vast majority of animals raised for their parts are factory farmed. I think I would have felt much better if Roth had developed that angle, helping the kids see that pigs and cows aren't that much different from dogs and cats, thereby providing logical building blocks for their thinking to develop. And then what?

However, the solution they have created, which harkens back to before industrialized agriculture, is simply to still raise animals for their flesh and secretions, and for profit, but to do it the old-fashioned way. I wouldn't do it to a dog, and I shouldn't do it to a chicken/sheep/cow/pig. No argument here. It's just not right.

Some might argue that Keith has simply become an advocate of “happy meat”—local, grass-fed, sustainably produced, and humanely raised meat. And with regard to killing in order to survive, there's a difference between "killing" a carrot and killing a cow, whom you know is just as sentient as your dog or your child.

Dogs were bred to be companion animals; pigs and cows are raised as food. A decision not to eat dogs has nothing to do with our inherent hypocrisy, but with our relationship to different animals. To suggest that eating one and not the other represents a conflict of ethics is preposterous.
