SEPTEMBER 7, 2009

That's because those who read Animal Ethics with regularity know that there are many compelling reasons to adopt a vegetarian lifestyle.

Since our food is delivered to us on a bun or in big bags of frozen parts, it’s easy to eat it and not think about what it was or how it was killed. If people had to see what these animals are subjected to or take an active role in their deaths, I believe many more people would think before they eat.

Not only are they killed in cruel ways, but it is well documented that they are raised in ways that cause them great discomfort and agony. That is absurd.
