8) The argument for the immorality of eating meat continues with two additional, undeniable premises: (3) The animals that become that meat are killed.

Of course, as a result, "ethical meat" becomes an option unless one realizes that killing when you don't need to is killing when you don't need to, no matter if it occurs in a slaughterhouse or in a mobile slaughter operation or in a backyard. We all know junk-food vegans and vegans who eat "faux meat" products every day.

Beyond the environmental impacts of meat production there is a basic ethical issue involved. I suspect that meat consumption would decline dramatically under such a code; it would certainly make many of us less hypocritical. Rather than eating dogs, we all ought to eat exclusively small-farmed, free-range meat.

Thus, the cattle we raise for meat and dairy are sometimes called Bos taurus while the extinct wild form is always called Bos primigenius. In any event, there is the distinct possibility that Wild Turkeys in North America today form a kind of squished up ring species, with an entirely anthropogenic European arm. According to R.D.

The meat industry loves to squeal that “the cost of bacon will rise” whenever it’s faced with pressure to change. I served on the Pew Commission on Industrial Farm Animal Production, which released a report in 2008 that detailed exactly how much these “efficiencies” are costing America.

It’s a terrible but ultimately not surprising tale, given the continued lack of self-regulation and the emphasis on profit over safety in the meat industry. The only way the meat industry will change its ways is for people to stop buying ground beef and cause sales to plummet. Ann Calandro Flemington, N.J.,

And, I started daydreaming about encountering something a little different, maybe a Horned Frog, Ceratophrys cornuta, a large, squat green and brown frog of South America, with a wide mouth large enough to eat other frogs as well as reptiles. Like Blue Dasher dragonflies, this is what I tended to see at small vegetative ponds in mid-summer.

The fact that geese mate for life, and that the mate of the poor goose that was slaughtered would step forward, was enough to make me swear off meat forever, if I hadn’t already. But one consequence that Mr. Kristof doesn’t note is that meat prices would certainly be substantially higher.

Horses slaughtered in America today go not to feed the poor and the hungry but to satisfy the esoteric palates of wealthy diners in Europe and Japan. Horse slaughter for meat export is just plain wrong. Weil’s paean to horsemeat should be taken with a grain of salt. But yesterday’s hardship food is today’s gourmet treat.

The topic was the concept of humans as predators, or hunters, or really, eaters of meat, and I was discussing the many ways in which people misconceived this notion. Vultures, in North America (and this may or may not apply to all vultures) are so damn adapted to scavenging that they can’t see in front of themselves in flight.

We think that the original stock from which the Galapagos Finches evolved came from nearby South America. They are lively, inquisitive, active, run fast, frequent houses to pick the meat of the Tortoise which is hung up, sing tolerably well; are said to build a simple open nest; are very tame, a character in common with the other birds.

As seasonings for meat, fish, and vegetables, spices like cloves and mace fell out of fashion along with doublets and ruffled collars, but these imports from the steamy island forests of southeast Asia remain popular to this day – with some irony – in flavoring dark and sticky treats best enjoyed fireside in the dead of the northern winter.
