"But eating meat harms no one"
....yeah right.

It doesnt harm the animal? It doesnt harm the environment? Perhaps you might educate yourself before you next come out with such gems of wisdom.

"The animals already dead"
Thjis is one of the most un-thought out responses to an important ethical debate I often come across.

So does that mean that, on your reasoning, if I kill you, I can help myself to your estate...I mean whats the problem, youre already dead, you wont know about it. Does that mean that I can kill you, because at the point you actually die, you wont know your dead:- AS YOU ARE DEAD?

Or perhaps do you want to admit that the important thing is what happens is when you are alive? Can you feel pain? Do you want to be confined? Do you want to be a commodity? Do you want to live in attrocious conditions which only concerns itself on the welfare of its profits, not your being?

I am always astounded at how 'blooded' and 'uncaring' the human person can be.
