If you don't have to enslave, rape, dominate, or kill someone (or have someone else do it for you), why would you?

Beyond the environmental impacts of meat production there is a basic ethical issue involved. So here is an even more modest proposal than roasting Fido: Try eating only what animals you are willing to kill with your own hands.

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.

The latter is even captured in a somewhat gruesome video , in which the hornbill plucks a caged bird out of its cage and kills and eats it. At 15h59, the female picked up the fourth chick and killed it by repeatedly crushing it with her beak. Then she tried to feed it to the remaining chicks.

Go vegan, go vegetarian, go humane or just eat less meat. To the Editor: Soon after I read Gary Steiner’s article, my wife asked me to kill a spider, which I did.

They are also threatened by cultural beliefs that lead to killing them because they’re seen as harbingers of death and bad luck. The “Further Reading” chapter lists, chapter-by-chapter, books and articles–scholarly and popular, mostly scholarly–that I assume were Ackerman’s sources of information.

I also watched a red fox bury her mate after a cougar had killed him. These birds can learn to pull a string to retrieve a short stick, use the stick to pull out a longer one, then use the long stick to draw out a piece of meat.

Plume hunting raged supreme 150 years ago, when egret feathers were part of a worldwide trade in feathers and other bird parts, used for women’s hats and other articles of clothing (but mostly hats), delighting the upper classes and practically wiping out bird species. ©2023, Donna L.
