Why exactly is it ok to cage a cow its whole life, slaughter it, and then eat it but it's not ok to cage a human its whole life, slaughter it, and eat it? What exactly is the difference that makes the former ethical but the latter unethical?
If your only argument is "Duhhhh cow tasty!" then please leave. Serious arguments only please.
As a Vegan Nutritionist, yes I have plenty of reasons.
But I don't like confrontation and I chimed in on a "vegan" thread here before and people were not to happy with my statements.
But would anyone want to be caged? My dog use to bark, and whine when he was caged for trips or at the vet.
Obviously showing he was unhappy.
Animals can talk, birds can talk, animals can communicate with other animals (at least within their species)
We just don't speak the language they speak. So understanding how they feel is harder for us because there is not a "voice" behind the face that we can perceive.
