Do you agree with Richard Dawkins?

[/b]Richard Dawkins can see no good moral reason for eating meat. He sees it as being akin to sexism or racism.

It seems that evolution tells us that we are nothing more than another animal so it's easy to see where Dawkins is coming from.

I suppose that you need to have a moral position that causing unnecessary pain and suffering is wrong.

Do you agree with Dawkins that on moral grounds, eating meat cannot be justified?

If Dawkins has a problem with hurting things that can feel pain, there is nothing wrong with that morally, ethically, or rationally.. However, morality is rather relative. I for one will eat meat, but I also do not like animals having to suffer.. The problem with the food chain is that much of life must murder itself in-order to survive and reproduce. So no matter what Dawkins says, he's going to have to technically kill something to survive.. That is a natural consequence of life.

And we are animals indeed, but animals capable of higher cognitive thought.. We are amazing animals, but it does come with a price.
