So by eating meat I'm an accomplice in crimes worse than the Holocaust, the atomic bombs, the Soviet gulags, the Rwandan genocide, 9/11 and so on?


I wouldn't say you're an accomplice in that most likely you were raised to eat meat. From the time you were a small child you've been conditioned to be OK or maybe even to love eating meat. You've also had the terrible conditions of the factory farming industry hidden from you. Because of this I don't think anybody can be blamed for eating meat. But I do think that once those conditions and factors are brought to your attention that people should have a long think about the situation and really spend some time deciding if they want to continue to support such practices.


Visit a slaughterhouse and make up your mind. Cruelty to humans is bad, but cruelty to animals is ok?

Shouldn't we respect consciousness and the living force even in less developed creatures?
