1st, a public service announcement:
You all do know that when you engage the worm, you are giving him what he so desperately craves.....ATTENTION?
Anyway, the guy is right, though he probably could have worded it better. If it is so "immoral" to eat dog or cat meat, simply because we've domesticated them, and keep them as pets.....then it is "immoral" to eat the mean of ANY animal. Anything else is totally a double standard. Personally, from a morality standpoint.....I believe eating the meat of any animal is wrong.....especially the mass corporate processing of animals for human consumption. Now, I have felt this way for a long time, and the fact that I have eaten meat over that time makes me a hypocrite.....but it doesn't make what I have to say any less valid. I can't tell you the number of times that I thought about the suffering that any given animal went through just so I could eat it. The fact that I did eat it made me the worst kind of hypocrite....the kind that thinks something is wrong, yet still does it. In all honesty, meat IS meat.....if it's wrong to eat the meat of one animal....it should and must be wrong to eat the meat of ANY animal....especially when the reasoning is based on moral grounds.
Now, as some of you know, I had a "mild" heart attack back in October '10, and a friend of mine just about a month ago finally convinced me to going vegetarian....with SOME seafood, and then only wild &/or farm raised....so I'm not totally a vegetarian...but pretty damn close. She said it would be hard....and she wasn't kidding given the constant temptation you have anywhere you go. I basically have to eat alone right now. I can't eat out at a restaurant. Like she warned me, it's tough. But, I don't have the luxury to play games with my diet anymore.....and to be honest, it's getting to the point that I don't really even miss many of the so-called "staples" of the often carnivorous American diet. Oh yeah, and I'm losing weight, and felling better than I have in a long time actually.
Anyway, like I said, if eating the meat of one animal is considered wrong.....doesn't it logically, and in all intellectual honesty, follow that eating the meat of ANY animal is wrong? :dunno:
