I prefer "anti-unnecessary slaughter of sentient nonhumans" and it has nothing to do with perceived modernity. Perhaps it is the industry's inability to evolve morally that is behind the times. Parker uses the term "anti-modern farming activists," which is new to me. Besides, is the "modern" veal crate something to be proud of?

Yet he spends time describing the miserable deaths of day-old male chicks and understands what happens in dairy production, and I assume he doesn't partake of anyone's eggs or milk.

There are moral reasons to go vegetarian: recognition that it is wrong to contribute to unnecessary animal suffering the injustice of exploiting animals and killing them for no good reason If human have rights, then many nonhuman animals also have rights, and confining and killing these animals for food violates these rights.

In fact, a whole lot of semi-vegans can do much more for animals than the tiny number of people who are willing to give up all animal products and scrupulously read labels. If the goal is not moral perfection for ourselves, but the maximum benefit for animals, half-measures ought to be encouraged and appreciated. Wolves eat sheep.
