Bea sent me a link to an article in Gourmet called " Humane Slaughterhouses ," by Rebecca Marx, that is absurd. Let's deconstruct: The heading is: "Okay, so your steak comes from a cow that lived a happy life--but how did that life end?" It's a cow who--who--lived an allegedly happy life. It’s how we treat humans, too.

Somehow they manage to get the bird or animal to a rehabilitator, even though finding one is often a feat in itself. For one – and we’ll stick with this one issue for now – because sometimes the public decides to keep the animal they have found, just for a little while. To these people, we owe our gratitude.

There is a rational, and for some people a spiritual, case for being a vegetarian: Killing animals is wrong.

Their claim is that what has become the customary way to take sentient nonhumans from babyhood to untimely death is not humane. It's impersonal and hideously ugly and the animals suffer greatly.
