You should see my cat
Cruel to eat meat
I am simply astonished. How can people eat animals?
I think you would be chagrined to see how my cat plays with her prey before eating it, semi-alive I am sure at times.
Animals eat animals. Humanity as much as we would like to think we are not, are still in fact animals. In certain ways better (we can contemplate our actions and our origins and motives) and in many ways the same (kill for territory or food), and in some ways worse (we have sex mostly for sport).
For Christmas sake, we are a country that debates the value of torturing human beings. And even outside of national concerns the human on human daily cruelty that occurs mentally, emotionally, and physically is indescribable
Sure, it would be nice if we retained some scrap of basic humanity and morality by leading cows to slaughter in a more humane way, however I am certainly not astonished that we can’t even do that and it has nothing to do with eating meat.
