This was the very first thing I read when I stumbled onto this site and my honest reaction was"oh boy another person giving peta a bad name". but its his site and i figured his agenda....If this is a morality issue it will spark debate but will never be resolved...It is a circular discussion which will usally entail debating if its moral to kill a vegetable or perhaps your views based on religion or philosophy...
It reminds me of the debate about going to war in Iraq...pro-war folks were holding onto videos of crowds cheering and waving flags thanking us for our sacrifice..anti-war folks liked the beheading videos.
so you could argue that we are just the "strongest species" and are hunting our prey in an efficient manner because like it or not hunting is a natural occurance and we arent out trying to convert the mighty lions eating habits..oh he doesnt have a choice? ok but he eats what is satisfying to his taste.
or we could argue that we have a choice and just choose to eat meat and its causing health problems and in our quest for faster and more modern means we have lost sight of how inhumane it all is..
I am a meat eater and have been honestly thinking about it from MY moral compass and am considering changing...but this post did nothing for that cause...It made me question the authors intention more than anything.
I mean no disrespect and honor your views ,This is just one readers take and I base most of it on my gut feeling
love intended
