If you eat meat you cannot logically find it morally or ethically repugnant to eat a particular meat (I’m setting cannibalism aside here.).

To the Editor: Re “ PETA’s Latest Tactic: $1 Million for Fake Meat ” (news article, April 21): The commercial development of meat from animal tissue won’t result in “fake meat” any more than cloning sheep results in fake sheep.

Let ‘Em Out : Puppies and dogs are made to run and play, sniff the ground, dig in the dirt, and roll in the grass (and the cow plop). A rub down or massage is good for the puppy and the human massager as well, and you can stimulate many health-providing acupuncture points with a simple head to tail, whole-body massage.

Farm animals also benefit from the humane farming movement, even if the animal welfare changes it effects are not all that we should hope and work for.

Cows are considered sacred by majority of Hindus so cow meat is generally not consumed. This results in the cow’s corpse being left to be fed on by vultures. Of the estimated 500 million cattle in India, only 4% were destined for consumption by humans as meat. No one knew why they were dying.
