Is it true that the least I can do is support the engineering of animals who experience less unpleasantness than they would have had they not been engineered that way?

Cain=farmer=evil murderer; Abel=slaughtered animals=victim/good son. If you're going to claim that it was good for Native Americans so it's good for us, please know that they had an ecological ethic that we simply don't share. Ingesting suffering can't possibly be good for anyone's karma. Cain was a farmer, Abel was a herder.

Beloved family pet Dalmatian, Pepper, is stolen, and after several weeks of searching is discovered to have been experimented on at a hospital and died on the table when researchers tried to implant her with an experimental cardiac pacemaker. By the end of my time as researcher, I was performing behavioral experiments on humans.

I suspect that many regular readers of Animal Ethics are already vegetarians. That's because those who read Animal Ethics with regularity know that there are many compelling reasons to adopt a vegetarian lifestyle. This precept is variably stated as follows: Avoid killing or harming any living being. That's right, free!
