Why choose enslavement, rape, domination and slaughter? Let's deconstruct: Legal experts in China are proposing a ban on the eating of dogs and cats.

Meanwhile, I'm sure that writers whose style I have a problem with will say, "I don't have the time or the inclination to write the sort of dispassionate, tepid prose you prefer while tens of billions of sentient nonhumans are being enslaved and slaughtered for no good reason."

And I don't think that converting one person at a time to veganism via my spectacular baking or my blogging is going to make up for the people of China and India rapidly increasing their consumption of animals. Tags: Activism Economics Ethics. Are there parts of it that resonate for you?
